United Church of Pittsford

The First Baptist Church of Pittsford (formerly called Northfield) was organized in 1809. For a number of years members met in homes, barns and schoolhouses. In 1856 a small brick edifice was constructed at 11 State Street. It was razed in 1957.

The Methodist-Episcopal Church was organized in 1830. It was voted in 1831 to build a church and it was erected on land near the Lincoln Avenue schoolhouse. The village didn't grow in that direction, so the building was taken down and erected at the corner of Main and Church streets. It is now a commercial building.

In 1949, these two small churches joined together to form a stronger United Church of Pittsford. Click here for "A Story of Two Churches Becoming One" written by former paster Rev. Susan S. Maybeck.
