I found it! The most wonderful church located in the heart of downtown Long Beach is the place I want to get married. It's called the First Congregational Church of Long Beach. It was built in 1888 and modeled after the Florence Renaissance style (at least that's what their website says).
Oliver and I attended a church service there today. It was stupendous. The congregation considers themselves liberal Christians. They believe in equal rights for everyone. Their marriage pamphlet even shows two women getting married. Needless to say, there were many gay couples in the pews. The sermons covered what was going on politically when Jesus was crucified. It was absolutely fascinating hearing a different view on the crucifixion. We are going to attend their service on Easter as well.
Oliver is going to call tomorrow to see if it's available.
