Rooted in Fort Ann, New York
About Our Church
A historic village church, still doing what it has always done: worship faithfully, welcome warmly and care for Fort Ann.
Our history
Generations in these pews
Fort Ann United Protestant Church has served this village for well over a century. Built by local hands and maintained by local families, the building itself is part of the story of Fort Ann — as familiar on the street as the school, the firehouse and the canal.
Over the decades, the congregation united Protestant neighbors under one roof rather than dividing a small town into many small churches. That instinct — gather, don't separate — still shapes who we are.
Baptisms, weddings, funerals, Christmas Eve candlelight, spaghetti and ziti suppers, thrift shop Saturdays: the ordinary, faithful rhythm of a country church.
Our mission
Worship God, welcome everyone, serve Fort Ann
We exist to gather this community in worship, to grow together in faith, and to be practical neighbors to the people around us.
Grace first
We believe God's love reaches people before they have it all figured out — including us.
Scripture together
We read the Bible faithfully and honestly, in community, with room for questions.
Love of neighbor
Faith shows up as casseroles, rides to appointments, coats in winter and open doors.
One table
United in worship across Protestant traditions — what unites us is bigger than what divides us.
