The Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church was created when the New York churches of four former conferences - North Central New York, Troy, Western New York and Wyoming Conference - united to better serve the ministry needs of the local church and the community.
With more than 168,000 members, the Upper New York Annual (Regional) Conference of The United Methodist Church comprises 867 local churches and 65 new faith communities in 12 districts, covering 48,000 square miles in 49 of the 62 counties in New York state.
