Churches & Ministries

There are three Native American United Methodist churches in the Upper New York Annual Conference:

  • Four Corners United Methodist Church, located on the Cattaraugus Territory

  • Hogansburg United Methodist church located on the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation at Akwesasnee

  • Onondaga Nation United Methodist Church located on the Onondaga Nation Indian Territory


Elders on the Onondaga Nation and in the greater Syracuse area obtain transportation to doctor appointments, medical treatments, food pantries, senior nutrition sites, and other necessary places. This program is made possible through the Onondaga County Department of Adult and Long Term Care Services, the Upper New York Annual Conference, the Committee on Native American Ministry (CONAM), and the Onondaga Nation UMC. We have received a New York State Department of Transportation grant to purchase a wheelchair accessible van in 2011. This will expand our ability to offer rides to individuals with disabilities.


We welcome support from individuals and churches to help us meet operating expenses and maintain the van. For further information contact Kae Wilbert.



There is also ongoing support for education, cultural preservation, and social justice for Native American communities within our conference.


Students from Rontewennanonhnha School thank Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church for generous support.
