Greetings and welcome to the Website for the Central Lakes District of the North Central New York Conference of the United Methodist Church. The Central Lakes District is one of six districts in the NCNY Conference. As our name indicates our district embraces the northern shores of the Finger Lakes region and the southern shores of Lake Ontario in Central New York. Our most eastern congregation is located in the City of Syracuse, Onondaga County, and our most western congregation is located in Farmington, Ontario County. There are two primary roadways that link our churches. State Route 104 provides access to our churches in northern Cayuga, and Wayne counties while fifty-seven miles of New York State Thruway connect the southern churches in Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Ontario Counties.
