The Central UMC building was erected in 1905 after their previous building burned. Full use of the building began May 26, 1907. In the 1960s, a gymnasium and office addition altered the original exterior. The church currently houses the Shalom Ministries, which serves a breakfast meal program Monday-Thursday and serves as a warming center on Wednesday nights. This church is significant as the oldest Methodist church in Spokane and as the home of the first Father's Day celebration, credited to Central UMC member Sonora Dodd.
