Prolific Los Angeles Modernist Rudolph Schindler designed dozens of timeless duplexes, apartments, houses, and office buildings, but he only ever designed one church. Bethlehem Baptist Church in Central-Alameda was built in 1944 for a small, black church congregation. Now, just after a much-needed restoration to what was for many years a pretty rough-looking building, the architecturally significant church—an official Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Landmark—is up for sale. — la.curbed.com

Two thing will save this from demolition: the price and the address.
The price isn't really an issue for LA. It's more of a question of how difficult will it be to get money out of the property because it's protected now. And yes, the neighborhood is a bit rough but there is always opportunity to get a return on investment-which could be beneficial to neighbors.
