Young Memorial Church, also known as Brier Hill Congregational Church, is a historic Congregational church in the hamlet of Brier Hill in Morristown, St. Lawrence County, New York. It was built in 1907-1908, and is a one-story, stone and wood shingled church building in the Arts and Crafts style. It features a steeply pitched gable roof, tall stone chimney, opaque art glass windows by Harry James Horwood, and central two-story square tower with a crenelated top.[2]

The church building housed a Congregational church until the 1950s. Subsequently it was used by a Baptist congregation until 1985. As of 2010, it had not been used since the Baptist group left.[2][3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
