Our History
In 1997, several families began praying for the Lord’s will and direction concerning their church allegiance. They met on Thursday evenings for prayer and fellowship. God led a pastor to come and lead them in Bible Study and prayer. After a time, they came to believe that God intended them to step out in faith to start what is now called Adirondack Baptist Church. In 1998 a new independent Baptist church was officially established in Fulton County.
After initially meeting in homes, we soon rented facilities at Sacandaga Bible Conference followed by a move to the former Methodist church building in downtown Gloversville. After prayerful consideration, we purchased the land at our present location and constructed our current building. Our church family moved into our new building in April 2001, and we called our first pastor in June of that year. In January 2013, Pastor Nathan Petersen was called by the church to be the senior pastor.
