Shenendehowa United Methodist Church is a United Methodist church located in Clifton Park, New York on Route 146m directly across from the Shenendehowa Central School District's main campus.〔SUMC, "About Us", Accessed 3 Dec 2014〕 Shenendehowa UMC was founded in 1957 by merging four smaller churches in the area, Grooms, Crescent, West Crescent and Newtown. The first official service was held in 1959.〔SUMC, "History", Accessed 3 Dec 2014〕 The church has roots back to 1788, when Grooms Methodist Episcopal Church was founded in the Vischer Ferry area, though John Wesley had been sending preachers to Halfmoon, NY and Newton, NY since 1783. The original Newton Methodist Church was founded in 1830, West Crescent in 1835, and Crescent Methodist Church in 1852. In 1957, members of these four Methodist churches of the Clifton Park area voted to merge, combining their membership to reach a total of 361 members.〔 The Shenendehowa UMC building has undergone three major renovations since its construction. Most recently, in 1997, a new sanctuary was built.〔 The current pastor at Shenendehowa United Methodist Church is Pastor Alan Delamater, serving at SUMC since July 2006.〔SUMC, "Church Staff", Accessed 3 Dec 2014.〕 ==External links== * (Official site of Shenendehowa United Methodist Church ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shenendehowa United Methodist Church」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
