Our Church

Adirondack Bible Chapel is Christ-centered and gospel-focused. We believe that God's Word is sufficient for all of life, and prayer shows our dependence on a sovereign God. Discipleship is a crucial aspect of our ministry. Our goal is for everyone to grow in the knowledge of God and become more like Christ. We are nestled in Upstate New York. We are a small tourist town with many outdoor activities. Our town is known for being an all-season vacation land. There are many lakes for water activities and mountains to hike, ski, and snowmobile in the winter. There are slow times of the year. However, there are many bustling times with many visitors and tourists. The church has new faces attending our worship service weekly. https://adirondackbiblechapel.org/
