CHURCH
Churches in Our District
Do you believe in God or do you believe you are God?
A GROK response to the following question: Please list the churches and synagogues, and their websites if they have one, in the third legislative district in the state of Washington.
Washington’s 3rd Legislative District covers most of inner Spokane, with nearly all its precincts within Spokane city limits (except one small precinct just outside). Below is a list of churches and synagogues in this district, based on available information, along with their websites where applicable. Since precise boundaries require address-level mapping, I’ve focused on Spokane-based institutions likely within or near the district, prioritizing those with a clear presence in the urban core. Note that this list may not be exhaustive due to limited real-time congregational data, but it reflects prominent and verifiable options as of April 2, 2025.

Notes
District Precision: The 3rd Legislative District is compact, centered on downtown Spokane and extending to surrounding neighborhoods. Most listed locations are within or very close to this area, though edge cases (e.g., Spokane Friends) may require address verification against the latest district map (updated 2024 per redistricting).
Synagogue Limited Presence: Spokane’s Jewish community is small, with Temple Beth Shalom being the primary active synagogue. Congregation Emanu-El historically merged with others, and its current activity is less clear.
Website Availability: Some smaller congregations may not maintain active websites; I’ve included those with known online presences or verifiable activity.
Exclusions: Churches or synagogues just outside the district (e.g., in the 6th Legislative District or rural Spokane County) were omitted unless they clearly serve the 3rd’s population.
If you need a more detailed boundary check or additional congregations, let me know—I can refine this further with specific addresses or search X and web sources for updates!
