General Information

Robert Harold Schuller, b. Alton, Iowa, Sept. 16, 1926, pastor of the Garden Grove Community Church in Orange County, Calif., is one of the world's most popular religious broadcasters. Ordained (1950) a minister of the Reformed Church in America, Schuller moved to Garden Grove in 1955 and there attracted people by preaching in a local drive - in theater to worshipers who listened to him from their parked cars. In 1961 he moved to a nearby church but continued to provide drive - in facilities where members of the congregation could hear the service on their car radios.
