North Country Fellowship church is a Purpose Driven church located in West Carthage New York - right next door to Fort Drum, NY. We believe that life is mean to be lived on purpose - God's purposes. We are a committed group of Christ Followers that have joined together to reach the Carthage area of Upstate New York with the relevant, un-changing gospel of Jesus Christ. Though we admit that we are not the right fit for everyone, we believe that there is a church for everyone. People who attend North Country Fellowship find a family atmosphere, inspiring music, life-application messages, and true community. We are an imperfect group of people serving a perfect God. Our ministry extends to Watertown, Carthage, West Carthage, Lowville, Fort Drum and other small, surrounding communities. We were started in 1986 with a vision to reach Carthage and the military population with the good news of Jesus, and to minister to all peoples of upstate New York, regardless of race, origin or occupation. We are members of the Carthage Area Chamber of Commerce and strive to be a positive influence in our homes, schools, workplace and communities. Finding a church can be hard work and you never know what to expect when you get there. The following is an honest description of an average Sunday morning at North Country Fellowship As you enter our new building you will immediately notice the Sunday morning buzz created by dozens of children running around. As you enter the meeting room (where the service takes place), you will notice a comfortably modern feel. The chairs are nicely cushioned. Worship music is playing over the sound system and people are actually happy to be at church! The live worship band will start the service at 10:00 AM and lead everyone in 4 or 5 songs. Drums, guitars and piano are all used in our musical worship. The words to the songs we sing are projected on a screen for you to follow along. The music is modern, contemporary and exciting! As the singing ends, Pastor Mike will pray and then begin to teach from God’s word. The messages are clear and apply to everyday life. Pastor Mike typically teaches for about 35-40 minutes. Afterwards, people tend to hang around, talk, drink coffee, and just enjoy each other’s friendship. North Country Fellowship is located at 35206 Sayre Road, West Carthage, NY 13619. We are just minutes away from Watertown, Great Bend, Fort Drum, Lowville and Black River in the northern part of New York State. New to West Carthage, NY?
