About
Mill Pond Church
Mill Pond Church was created in response to those seeking a more powerful faith. A faith that overcomes the daily anxieties of life. A faith that embodies great hope even during the difficult days. Here at Mill Pond Church you will find all kinds of people - young, old, in-between, people with a variety of backgrounds, people new to faith and those who have walked in faith for many years. What brings us together is a pursuit of a more powerful faith - a faith that can move mountains. Biblical faith!
Our Mission is Simple
We exist to know Christ and to make Him known
-Mark 12:30-31
Who We Are
We are a community of people who recognize our own shortcomings, but desire to be more than we currently are. People who want to belong to a circle of friends, striving to live a life pleasing to God, guided by Scripture and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Friends who love each other enough to walk through the valleys together; forgive those who wrong them; who care enough to lovingly challenge each other’s actions and assumptions. Friends who meet regularly to talk about faith and life, and who express their love and faith through actions.
We embrace the core teachings of Christianity and endeavor to present them in ways that are real, practical, bold, fun and inspirational.
We care about you, and have made a place for you here. We hope you’ll find our non-traditional approach to church refreshing.
Our Gatherings
Our church is best described as a gathering of imperfect people meeting together to become more and more like Jesus Christ. Our goal is to challenge one another to live, not just speak, the values of Christ as we journey through life together just as Jesus did when He met and traveled with His disciples.
Location
We meet together in homes rather than in church buildings. This is by choice because it creates a very warm and inviting environment making it welcoming and comfortable for meeting and getting to know people. Our weekly gatherings occur on different days of the week depending on where you're attending. And, as usually occurs when visiting someone's house, it always starts in the kitchen. That's right, we start out every meeting by eating together. There's just something about sharing a meal that opens up conversation unlike anything else can do.Gather
The beginning of every gathering starts with a meal. It just seems to us that great discussions occur while food is on the table. This is a great time to meet with friends old and new in an easy going environment. Everyone is welcome to the meal and there's always plenty to go around.The Gathering starts at 6pm!
Song
After the meal we move to a comfortable setting where one of our favorite things to do is join together in song. This is a very informal time of singing with guitar music. We find unity as we sing prayers of adoration, thanksgiving, and repentance. You'll hear new songs, old songs, hymns, and choruses that inspire us in our journey of faith.Music starts at 6:45pm!
Word
The center of our service is focused on the Scriptures. Although both the meal and song time are highlights for us, it's time in God's word that impacts us the most. Every Sunday we hear relevant, timely, and applicable messages for everyday life. Our teaching time will always show the Bible in its historical context while providing relevant application of its timeless principles. Most importantly, the message always tells of the hope we have in Jesus Christ for this life and the life to come.Teaching starts at 7pm!
Delivering positive change
Thank you for visiting us! We are a brand-new church in the Hudson Valley area. Our ministry is growing rapidly and we have great things in store for our community. In the near future, we'll be adding a podcast and message library to our website. In the meantime, please sign up for our newsletter.
Our Leaders
- Our gatherings are led by leaders who know and love Jesus, and who recognize that a place to belong is the first step toward a life filled with purpose.
- Pastor Jeff Boucher takes the lead in this fellowship, bringing with him a vibrant faith, a passion to serve Jesus Christ, and a wealth of ministry experience. Jeff has been at the helm of several churches and ministries, founding six of them. He has also been at the helm of several businesses unrelated to ministry. He himself has been on the mountaintop of blessing and walked through the darkest valleys, so he understands difficulty and sees the need for the 21st century church to change the world through love and forgiveness (the two most powerful forces on Earth).
- Our focus in ministry is knowing Christ more deeply and welcoming others into our sphere of influence to join us in a journey of faith and exploration. Several have said that coming to this church was like discovering an oasis in the middle of a parched desert. Others say, we've met great friends here that will certainly become lifelong. We would love to have you join us in the journey!
Essential Beliefs
- There is one God, eternally existing in three co-equal Persons, namely the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. -Romans 8; Ephesians 1:13-14
- Mankind was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him, but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts. -Romans 3:10-12; 23
- Though originally created good, Man willingly chose sin -ushering into the world evil and death, both physical and spiritual. -Genesis 1:26-27; 2:17, 3:6; Romans 5:12-19
- God, out of love for His children, sent his son Jesus Christ to live a life of example for us to follow, die for our sins, and to rise from the dead. Jesus is both fully God and fully man. He was without sin and the only one capable of repairing the broken relationship between God and man. -John 1:1, 14; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8
- Salvation is a free gift of God. The death of Christ on the cross is the only sufficient and acceptable payment for our sins. All have sinned, but all can be saved. This salvation is available for any who put their trust in Christ as Savior and follow Him as Lord. -Romans 3:23, 6:23; John 3:16
- Those trusting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized. -Romans 10:9; Acts 2:38
- The church is the body of Christ on earth, filled with and empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the work of proclaiming the gospel message and teaching those who make a decision to follow Christ. -Ephesians 4:1-16
- Christ will one day return and reign forever. -1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
- When we die, we will either be separated from God by sin or united with Him eternally through faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior -John 3:16; John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:10,15
- The Bible is the inspired word of God and is the final authority in life and doctrine. -2 Timothy 3:16
