No matter who you are or where you are in your life or your faith, we welcome
you with the love of Christ.
A Church
with Pride
We are people like you.
We love and are loved by people like you.
God created each person uniquely, with qualities that make them especially gifted and worthy by being themselves. We want to see all people thrive as they grow in their sense of identity, belonging, and purpose.
Since 1716, we are proud to be in Poughkeepsie.
We are proud to be Christian.
We are proud to welcome all.
Faith
Forward
The Reformed Church of Poughkeepsie is dedicated to promoting kind, inclusive, and Christian theological beliefs. Our community believes we don't have to compromise loving God and loving all.
Since Christ unites us all, we welcome and embrace all individuals, regardless of their background or orientation.
Our faith is expressed beautifully in the Belhar Confession, which was written by our siblings facing and standing up to apartheid in South Africa. Shorlty after it's drafting, we adopted it as true confession of our faith.
While embracing our rich heritage, we faithfully follow Christ forward.

We help people connect to God and others for the good of Poughkeepsie and the world.
