A Note From Josh

For over thirteen years, I’ve had the privilege of pastoring in New York City, a city I love with everything in me. My wife Georgie and I planted FOUNT Church in 2013, believing that Jesus could be met around a table and that the gospel could shape a city through people who love Him and love each other. That work is not finished. It may never be.

God gave Georgie and I our church’s name through the hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. Our conviction is this. Jesus is the Fount. And out of Him, the church becomes a fount to the city. Every song, every sermon, every Dinner Party, every Sunday, exists for that.

This site is where I share teaching, writing, sermons, and conversations on the gospel, the city, and what it means to live a life genuinely shaped by Jesus. Thanks for being here.

Where to begin

About FOUNT Church

One church.
One city.
One Fount.

FOUNT Church is a Dinner Party movement in New York City, planted in 2013 by Josh Kelsey and Georgie Kelsey, with church plants now in Paris and Berlin. A decade of ministry, five locations across the boroughs, and thousands of meals shared around tables.

We’ve built two resources here for leaders. A Dinner Party playbook for anyone wanting to gather their city around a table, and a Church Planting course for pastors building something from the ground up. Come sit down. Come learn how.
