Our worship services are designed to be relevant and engaging.

We use a contemporary worship style that includes sermons, scripture, singing, and sharing.

Our praise band fills the sanctuary with mostly contemporary Christian songs as our members’ voices join them from their seats.

We add impact to our message by integrating creative elements into our services on occasion.

Our sermons are Biblically based, discuss real issues of the day, and are presented in a relaxed, engaging style with sprinkles of healthy humor along the way.

Most importantly, our worship services are designed to leave you walking away spiritually refreshed and ready to take on the week ahead.

Farmington Community Church has recently entered the process of seeking our next appointment with the Global Methodist Church, and we are pleased to wish Pastor Matthew Finch and his family all the greatest blessings as they pursue their next ministry opportunity. Our church staff and laypeople are currently providing sermons during Sunday morning worship.

In 1987 a small group of committed Christians were led by God to plant a new church in the Farmington, NY area under the leadership of Pastor Bill Vallet as a United Methodist Church.

For the first seven years they met in a hotel near the New York State Thruway, setting up their sanctuary every Sunday and using various rooms for classrooms, nursery, etc.

In 1994 the fledgling congregation moved into our present facility, located near the intersection of Route 332 and County Road 41 (entrance located on County Road 41 directly across from Beaver Creek Road).

In 1996 George McCracken came for a year and served as interim pastor.

In 1997 Pastor Jeff Long became the new permanent pastor – providing 23 years of service.  Jeff retired in June 2021. Sadly, Pastor Jeff passed away suddenly on July 15, 2022.

In 2021 (ret.) Pastor Anne O’Connor stepped into the role of interim Pastor with shared responsibilities with Associate Interim Pastor Dan Kulp.  Together, they served and ministered to Farmington UMC.

In 2022 Pastor Matthew Finch became the new permanent pastor. He was previously assigned to Hemlock UMC and Naples UMC.

In 2023 The congregation voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist denomination, and affiliate with the new Global Methodist Church (GMC). Following this, we changed our name from Farmington United Methodist Church, to Farmington Community Church.

Built in 1994, our facility is a multi-purpose, one story structure that is flexible and can support multiple types of events.

The sanctuary is a large, open space with chairs and no pews designed to facilitate multiple room configurations. It’s primarily used for worship, but can also be used for pageant performances, charity and fellowship dinners, local blood drives, family game nights, receptions, and more.

Our facility also has multiple small rooms that can be used to host various meetings, programs, and ministries.

Additionally, we have a working kitchen that can be used to support various functions.

Designated nursery space, children’s program rooms, offices and a library complete the facility space.
