Methodist Church  – The Methodists were the first to form a church organization in Warrensburgh, on Christmas of 1784.  Rev. Henry Ryan was its first The "new" Methodist Church, built in 1903.  The original building was constructed around 1802 on land donated by Judge Kitchel Bishop, which included the present church lot. A second structure was built in 1840, with funds given by Joseph and John Woodward, after the original structure was moved to a location west of Hunt's Hardware store on Hudson Street.  The current church was built in 1903-1904 after the old church was moved to  the rear of the parsonage lot, on King Street. F. R. Comstock was the architect and Rev. N. M. Learned the driving force behind the construction.
