First Presbyterian Church of Kent, WA, 1889-2017

First Presbyterian Church of Kent was founded in 1889 with Rev. Jack McMillian serving as pastor and Rev. Dr. George F. Whitworth as one of the organizing officers. The church was renamed Olivet Presbyterian Church on October 3rd, 1913. Shortly after, the church was renamed again to Emanuel Presbyterian Church, but quickly returned to Olivet Presbyterian Church. In 1959, the members voted to reinstate the original name, First Presbyterian Church of Kent. The church closed in 2017 due to dwindling membership and a lack of funding.
