Pound Ridge Community Church is a body of Christ devoted to individual growth and community empowerment through embracing diversity, creativity and authenticity in following Jesus Christ as Lord.
The Pound Ridge Community Church is a vibrant community of faith. We are affiliated with the United Methodist Church, and represent a diversity of religious perspectives. What unites us is our desire to know God better and to be disciples of Jesus Christ in this world.
Here you will find people in caring fellowship, mission and service. We have Christian education programs for all ages, and opportunities for spiritual development that will inspire and nurture you on you own unique journey of faith. Worship is traditional in style but somewhat informal, and young children are always welcome. Our church is big enough to offer a healthy number of programs and ministries but small enough to welcome each newcomer as a friend.
We hope you will explore our web site. Read about our programs and ministries, read or listen to a recent sermon, and get a sense of who we are at Pound Ridge Community Church. Then, we hope we will have the chance to welcome you in person in worship or at one of our special events.
Statement of Inclusion
We, the people of the Pound Ridge Community Church, believe that we are called to ministry for and with all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, faith history, economic status, relationship status, physical and mental ability, or education. We affirm that we were all created in God’s image. We acknowledge that we are all equally in need of the love and grace that God freely gives, without bias or conditions.
We believe that human sexuality is a good gift from God, and that God rejoices in the healthy use of this gift in loving relationships amongst all couples, regardless of sex and gender expression. We celebrate all their unions, as we believe God does. We oppose barriers to ordination for anyone God has called to use their gifts and graces in service to the Gospel.
We covenant together to make Pound Ridge Community Church a place of welcome and inclusion, and to support attitudes and policies within our denomination that recognize the sacramental equality of all of God’s children. We pledge ourselves to this work, looking ahead to the day when “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors” will be truly embraced by all United Methodists.
You are invited!
Pound Ridge Community Church unanimously voted to become a member of the Reconciling Ministries Network on June 23rd, 2019.
