Saranac Lake is at the northeastern edge of the Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. We are located in the Adirondacks and surrounded by mountains, lakes and ponds. Our congregation includes life-long Adirondackers, seasonal visitors and transplants from places like Vermont, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Many own their own homes or rent here in the Village. Some of the houses still have the enclosed porches of the "Cure Cottage" days when Saranac Lake was a world-renowned center for the treatment of tuberculosis. Others live in nearby towns like Gabriels, Lake Clear, Ray Brook, Paul Smiths, Bloomingdale or Vermontville. Still others reside at one of the modern multi-stories high rises that provide quality housing for our senior citizens.
In everything we do, we want to keep a focus on the primary task of the church: 
Making Disciples, Followers of Jesus Christ!
