Union University Church

Union University Church We are a community church for people of all denominations. Join us for worship Sundays at 10:30 am. We worship on Sundays, at 10:30 a.m. in Alfred, NY.

Our worship and structure are congregational in style and our members are committed to listening to one another's ideas and faith experiences believing that such openness is instructive in our growth together as a community and in our individual call to serve Christ in our lives. We average 70-90 people in worship, a number which enables us to perform important ministries together yet allows a fam

ily feeling of close fellowship. Our children and youth are very important to our congregation, participating in the life of the church through our educational program, youth fellowship, worship, service projects, and other programs. We also believe strongly in demonstrating our faith through the care of others and work hard to find ways of bringing our resources, our energy, and our concern to bear on the needs of the world through both our support of an extensive benevolence budget, and through the individual service of our members. in the Alfred Seventh Day Baptist Church, 5 Church St. Children's classes begin around 10:45 a.m. (Children participate in the first part of worship and leave for class after Children's Time.)

Before Laurel & John Buckwalter left for Virginia, Laurel made sure that the historical marker for the SDB Church was properly installed! The William G. Pomeroy Foundation launched its New York State Historic Roadside Marker Grant Program in 2006, and has funded over 2600 markers and plaques in 49 states. The marker reads:

SDB Church
Congregation Est. 1816.
