About

We are imperfect people who love God and love people by following Jesus actively:

Making disciples as He did | Connecting to the disconnected | Engaging with the unengaged | Helping people live the life God intended them to live.

The Park Ridge Free Methodist Church was born under the leadership of Rev. Roy Goodrich. Organized in 1946, the early church met in a rented pony barn at the corner of Ridge Road and Fetzner (current location of The Marriot). Two years later, we became an official church. In 1950, a new church on Ridge Road was built at a cost of $28,000.00 (currently a Chick-fil-A).

With a vision for greater ministry, a 5-acre lot was purchased from the Wegman family. On September 28, 1969, the current facility, located at the corner of Straub Road and Long Pond Road, was dedicated. Since that time, the church has continued to experience healthy spiritual growth as they reach out to the community of Greece and the greater Rochester area.

With numerous denominations, it can be challenging to understand what distinguishes each one from the others. Park Ridge is part of the Free Methodist Church USA. Learn more about who we are, what we believe, and what we are working toward as a movement:
