Wynantskill Church Extends to Add Sunday School Space
Wynantskill Reformed Church plans a rear extension to enlarge the basement and two upper floors to house about 200 children and a larger congregation. The church traces its roots to 1793 when 77 members left Albany’s First Reformed Church. It is among Rensselaer County’s oldest buildings. In 1794 Rev. Jacobus Van Campen Romeyn became its first minister, and until 1814 the church shared a pastor with Greenbush, then bought ten acres adjacent to the building.

Wynantskill Dutch Church History and Modern Expansion
The Wynantskill church traces its roots to 1822 when Rev. Froelich led a secession forming the True Reformed Dutch Church. It saw division after the death of Ralph Westervelt in 1823, with incorporation in 1824 and later improvements including a bell in 1838, a new parsonage in 1884, electric lights in 1912, a second raise in 1916, and a 1939 north wing addition. Under Rev. Clarence S. Howard since 1952, plans for a major expansion include Sunday School rooms, a larger parlor, a new chancel, and renewed facilities as Wynantskill evolves from farming to residential. The church preserves a corridor of long-standing families and counts Rich ard Rosenfield as organist.
