Prior to 1909, our area was served by “circuit riders.”  These pastors, traveled throughout the northeast, bringing the Good News to the small isolated communities.  In Speculator, the logging industry brought in a population that would spend weeks in the logging “camps” while their families remained at home.  As time went by, the Adirondacks became a “vacation destination.”  In order to provide a place of worship,  a group of five ladies led the team of faithful residents which ultimately led to the Methodist Church opening its doors in Lake Pleasant and Speculator. Our community has been richly blessed to be able to see this ministry 

continue.  God has guided our congregations spiritually  over the years with, evangelical outreach, mission work within our community and beyond, and stewardship of our properties.

We are all so thankful for His presence in our lives and for His Son’s sacrifice for us on the cross.
