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.

The name of our church came through a vision God gave Georgie from 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.

About FOUNT Church

One church.
One city.
One Fount.

FOUNT Church was planted in New York City in 2013 by Pastors Josh Kelsey and Georgie Kelsey. The name came through a vision God gave Georgie from the beloved hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.

Jesus is the Fount. And out of Him, the church becomes a fount. Every life an overflow, every church a river, every city a place where He can be tasted and seen. That’s the call. Every song, every sermon, every Dinner Party, every gathering at FOUNT exists for that one thing. That He would be known, and that out of Him, rivers of living water would flow to the city.
