- Description
- Sign on building: FEDERATED MISSIONS 1913 Although FEDERATED MISSIONS was initially a collaboration between six local churches beginning 1905/1906 to minister to incoming Japanese domestic workers, farm laborers and students numbering approximately 125 single men; from this place in 1913 opened the Pasadena Japanese Union Church. From the very outset, the church offered temporary quarters, job placement, English lessons but most importantly, an invitation to the Christian life. The Japanese missionary grew quickly, more housing was needed; women and children arrived. By 1917, the church now provided English classes for the Japanese women plus sewing and cooking instruction and had formed a Sunday school. Three years later, a home was purchased at 293 Kensington Place and that building served the congregation in many ways over the ensuing 45 years.
