Clarkson Community Church is a church located on Route 104 (West Ridge Road) approximately 15 miles west of Rochester, New York, and one mile north of Brockport, an historic college town on the Erie Canal. The town of Clarkson is a residential community of 6,000 featuring numerous historic homes.

History. Clarkson Community Church is one of the oldest congregations in Monroe County. Organized in 1816 as The First Presbyterian Congregational Church of Murray, the church alternated between Presbyterian and Congregational until 1969 when the name of the church was changed from The First Congregational Church of Clarkson to Clarkson Community Church. The colonial two-story clapboard church building was completed in 1825 and has had two subsequent additions, one in 1967 and another in 1985 giving the church over 13,000 square feet of usable space. The 100' tall steeple houses a large bronze bell bearing the casting date of 1853.

Present Status. The church is affiliated with the Fellowship of Independent Reformed Evangelicals, a world-wide confederation of Calvinistic Baptist churches. The congregation has over 100 members and regular attenders representing several neighboring counties, including Niagara, Livingston, Genesee, and Orleans. WYSL simulcasts a weekly radio program, Grounded in Grace, each Sunday.

Leadership. The church is led by pastor-elders and deacons. Tony A. Bartolucci (http://www.TonyBartolucci.com) serves as the church's forty-fourth preaching pastor.

Sunday Worship. The worship services feature blended music (hymns and contemporary songs) and expository-style sermons which generally run an hour in length. Home fellowship groups meet throughout the week at various locations.
