Home Turning Point Church, just down from the Salvation Army Thrift Store, and attached to this 430 Columbia Street building.
Once a dwelling, a cigar factory, a Chinese laundry, and then most recently a church, this 3-story building is in great shape- thanks to Chris and Nancy Tringali!
January 22, 2018 - News from owners, Turning Point Church: ‘The Lord put us in West Utica’
"Tringali and his wife, Nancy, don’t believe they can afford to buy and renovate a new building in West Utica — where the majority of their parishioners live — for the money they’re being offered. And their members are too poor for the church to take on debt, they said. They also won’t move away from the bulk of their congregation."
