Built in 1848, the Onondaga Nation United Methodist Church was the first church on the Onondaga Nation Indian Territory near Nedrow, New York. Ministry focuses on worship, spiritual growth, mission, hospitality, and fellowship. Onondaga Nation UMC serves the Nation with their Linen Closet, which provides gently-used blankets, sheets, and more. Annual events such as a Fall Turkey Dinner, Native American Ministries Sunday Open House, and June Strawberry Festival provide opportunities for fellowship with brothers and sisters on the Nation and in the larger community. Members welcome visits from youth groups to mission teams and seek to be an active part of the UNY Conference. In cooperation with the Onondaga County Office of Aging and Youth, the Upper New York Conference, and the Committee on Native American Ministries, the church participates in a van ministry which provides transportation for Native American elders on the Onondaga Nation to the greater Syracuse area. Support for the Onondaga Nation UMC through the Advance Special enables the church to continue its mission and ministry as part of the United Methodist connectional system, celebrate its diversity as Native Americans, and maintain a presence on an ancient land, demonstrating Christian love for all.
