Welcome to the Malden Bridge Community Center Website!
The Malden Bridge Community Center is located in the hamlet of Malden Bridge on the Northern edge of Columbia County, New York. Our 1835 “country chapel”, (formerly the Wesley Methodist Church; see “History”) lies in the triangle where the Old Albany Turnpike and Shaker Museum Road converge (see “Directions”). The facility is owned by the Malden Bridge Community Center, Inc. which was organized under Section 402 of the Not-For-Profit Corporation Law of the State of New York and is managed by a Board of Directors (see “Directors”) consisting of members of our community.
Our facility is available to anyone in our community and the surrounding area for a wide range of uses. We particularly encourage educational and artistic uses including classes, art shows, and performances. Our facility is also available for commercial meetings and events or private functions such as weddings or other large parties. Non-profit entities will generally be allowed to use the facility at no cost (or “at-cost” during the heating season) while private events will be asked to pay a competitive fee. For further information on using our facility please contact us.
Our Community Center building features the following amenities which can be used separately or on a combined basis:
- An attractive wood-paneled 850 square foot “meeting room” with flexible seating and outstanding natural light. This room is suitable for small meetings, dinners, classes or as an art or small performance studio.
- A large 990 square foot meeting room (the old church sanctuary) suitable for large events of all types including performances where a substantial audience is expected. Moveable “pew” seating is available in this room.
- A kitchen and pantry which can be used as a “staging area” for catered meals or to prepare modest meals.
