Mission & About

History

The Bloomville Methodist church building has been a landmark in the Town of Kortright for over two hundred years  This church has the distinction of being the oldest church building (first built in 1800) of that faith in continuous use for worship west of the Hudson River.   In its two hundred-year history, the Bloomville United Methodist Church has been a center spot of the community, survived name changes, pastor changes,  remodeling, upgrades, periods of staunch support, inactive membership, and revival.  There have been many celebrations and triumphs over the years.  Our dedicated congregations have remodeled and restored the church and parsonage serval times always keeping up with the times. Currently we are part of the Delaware Headwaters Charge.
