Westminster Presbyterian Church

Westminster Presbyterian Church Pasadena began in 1906, when a group of pioneering Presbyterians who originally worshiped at the Pasadena Presbyterian Church decided to extend its activities to the Northeast area of Pasadena.  After a small chapel was built, David McPherson, a church member and an engineer who built, with Thaddeus Lowe, the Mt. Lowe Railway, worked to see the church relocated further north on Lake Avenue in Pasadena. On December 11, 1908, a new site was purchased and soon after the chapel (known as Dodge Chapel) was relocated. The first service in the new location at Lake Avenue and Woodbury Road was held on January 31, 1909.
