Organize the web stories, info on the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) troubles: Property Ownership, Church Withdrawals, Ordination Standards, Hierarchical vs. Connectional.
Being a dog person, I appreciated the picture in the story: "Dog is just God spelled backwards," observed Tina Wynecoop as Buddy made his way into the final service at Wellpinit Presbyterian Church.
Wellpinit is the home of the Spokane Tribe of Indians.
I can not find which denomination this church was a member. I did find the school system website. They serve 570 students.
I did find a photos from 1920 of its predecessor, Spokane River Presbyterian Church. Photo 1 Photo 2

If you have comments, corrections, or updates to this website please email me: PRESBYLAW webmaster or leave a comment.
If you wish to make a church announcement of a vote or lawsuit, I will need to verify. You either need to send it via a email that I can publicly verify belongs to the church, or point to a website with a news story, or official church website. Contacting the layman may be a better route.
