Clarkson Community Church is a church located on Route 104 (West Ridge Road) about 12 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 about 6,000 and has a library, a hospital and numerous historic homes.

History. Clarkson Community Church is considered the oldest congregation in Western 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. The 80 foot tall steeple, the tallest structure in the town proper, houses a large bronze bell which bears a casting date of 1853.

Present Status. The church currently has approximately 100 regular attenders and is affiliated with the Fellowship of Independent Reformed Evangelicals, a world-wide confederation of Calvinistic Baptist churches.

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.
