The Alplaus United Methodist Church (the only church ever in Alplaus) was chartered in October 1913. Our current building was begun in 1915 with the basement level initially used for worship. The upper brick structure was built in 1930 and the education wing and kitchen in 1959. Stained glass windows were installed in 1930, 1978-9, and 1989. From its beginnings, the church has been a social as well as spiritual center for the community.
Celebrating over 100 Years
Our Mission
Our mission is to actively live our Christian faith through worship, prayer, and service, and to be God's love to our neighbors in all places.
Our Vision
Our vision for the AUMC is to be a viable, active, welcoming church that supports both individual members and the community through a loving, spiritual atmosphere.All Welcome Church members and non-members are welcome to attend all services and to have their religious ceremonies in our facility. Community groups and individuals may rent space at the church. For example, the boy scouts meet weekly in the Fellowship Hall. Please contact the church office for Rules for use of Church facilities, at (518)399-6000.
WE ARE A SAFE SANCTUARY CHURCH.
Sunday School News
Every other week the older students meet with the pastor for their confirmation class. During those times the younger students have been writing 2 puppet skits to hopefully perform on June 10th during Children’s Time, which will be their last day of classes for this school year. One skit is about Jonah and the Whale and the other is about Noah’s Ark. They were encouraged to put some humor in it, so the stories may not be exactly as you remember them.
On the weeks when everyone is together, we are discussing bullying as it applies to today’s youth and how to deal with it in a non- threatening way. We have had some interesting discussions. Then we relate it to some bullying/mistreatment that occurred in Bible times. Our latest reference was to the story of the Good Samaritan and how the injured man was ignored/mistreated by 2 people who passed by him before the Samaritan man stopped to assist him.
