The Fifth Presbyterian Church of Spokane was founded on May 4, 1905 and was renamed Westminster Presbyterian Church in 1920. There were 37 charter members in addition to the pastor, Rev. Dr, James H. Shields. The congregation began meeting in a butcher shop on Dean Avenue and moved into their first church structure on Cannon and Gardner where they remained until the 1950s. On April 3, 1960, they dedicated a new church building located at Boon and Lindeke as the congregation had outgrown the original building.
