First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood

=== 1997–2005: Dr. Alan Meenan ===
Dr. Ogilvie was followed by Dr. Alan Meenan in 1997. A beguiling Irishman, Dr. Meenan had received a Ph.D degree from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.  He served the church for eight years during which time members and adherents numbered in excess of 3,000 persons. A long incremental decline in Sunday morning worship attendance was arrested under his tenure and the church entered a new season of growth. Four different Sunday morning services were instituted to reflect contemplative, classic, and contemporary worship styles. Increase in Sunday attendance was complemented by more than 700 people participating in Dr. Meenan's mid-week Bible study course, "The Word Is Out." In 2005, disagreements with the Presbytery of the Pacific caused Dr. Meenan to renounce the jurisdiction of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
