facility, office complex and landscaped grounds. An open house will

This dedication completes a 15-year plan for the development of a
four-acre parcel adjacent to Westmont College and the botanical gardens
at Lotusland. Montecito Covenant was founded in 1960 by a group of
young couples, and a facility with a capacity for 200 was dedicated in
1962. The new space a sanctuary seating 300, with state-of-the-art
sound and lighting, stained glass windows and wrought iron
chandeliers. Elements from the 1962 sanctuary can be seen in the
ceiling of several rooms. The construction was funded with a loan from
National Covenant Properties.
