The Woodland Presbyterian Church was organized to the glory of Almighty God on March 18, 1888. The original petition to the Puget Sound Presbytery was signed by Woodland pioneers C.C. Bozorth, R.R. Bozorth, E.V. Conrad, W.R. Bozorth, S.J. Bozorth, A.L. Bozorth, C.A. Bozorth, S.W.F. Browning, C.L. Klady, Bella Klady, Jas. Copeland, Frank E. Copeland, E.A. Bedford and L.E. Copeland. A minister was shared for a time with a congregation at Ridgefield. There were ten original members that met in the school. In May of 1889 the Articles of Incorporation were filed.

In the summer of 1889, the first church building was erected. By early standards, it was a fine structure with steep roof, Gothic stained glass windows and a tall steeple that held a bell. It was lighted with kerosene lamps placed on wall brackets.

In 1926, a new building was erected at the present location and a new sanctuary added in 1958. A Christian Education wing was added in 1967. This wing includes a nursery, classrooms, kitchen, and fellowship hall.

In 1986, our most recent construction project began.  This project added our new Narthex, chapel, library, and offices.  The beautiful stained glass windows once present in the old sanctuary were releaded and adorn this addition.

"Woodland Presbyterian Church has a proud heritage, a noble history, and an enviable record.  It has been inspired by great pastors, by outstanding leaders, by willing and dedicated followers.  Our dreams and mission have become realities in functional facilities and in effective programs.  God has truly blessed the vision and courage of our ancestors.  Their efforts have been blessed by (over) one-hundred years of faithful service and mission in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord."  Rev. Ray Moody

May God continue to guide and bless the Woodland Presbyterian Church family as we seek to glorify Jesus Christ in the Lewis River area.
