A short history of our Church
 |
 |
| 1831 | A meeting was held on October 22, 1831, in the Nineveh school house, to organize a church under the supervision of Reverend Ira Smith. Subsequently, a meeting house was erected for worship services. After a period of time, the Chenango Presbytery helped the thirty-five members enter the Presbyterian Church. |
| 1850 | Construction of our current church was started in 1849 and the building was dedicated on January 23, 1850. At that time, the meeting house became a parsonage. Eventually, a new parsonage (manse) was built next to the current parish hall. This manse was sold in 1935 during hard financial times. |
| 1870 | A refurnishing and enlargement effort began in 1870 with rededication on January 18, 1871. |
| 1909 | Our stain glass windows were installed. |
| 1965 | Full basement was added with Sunday School rooms. |
| 1970s | Improvement projects included: painting, new sanctuary lights, refurbished pews, and aluminum siding. |
| 1990 | Our pipe organ was installed and dedicated. |
| 1991 | The elevator was installed to provide better access for senior or disabled members and visitors. |
| 1996 | Our adjoining parish house was built. This 70' x 62' structure has a large kitchen, and rooms in the full basement for Sunday School and Conference Meetings. |
| 1998 | The main entrance of the sanctuary was redesigned and updated with a new large parking lot added at the left of the main entrance. |
| 2008 | Construction begins on addition for the NPC Christian Education Center |
