Our Worship Pastor

Rev. Calvin Collins comes with a breadth of musical knowledge and spiritual diversity. His inclusive spirit of working with all people has ignited a flame for justice, especially for those who have disabilities. Pastor Calvin grew up on the Eastern shore of Maryland in a rural area where most of his family currently resides. Currently, Pastor Calvin is studying at Lancaster Theological Seminary and will pursue ordination in The United Methodist Church following graduation. He has a true fire for the holy spirit and would love to talk with you some more about your walk with Jesus.

Greetings In the Name of Jesus Christ!

It is such a joy to pastor this vibrant community of faith, Ardsley United Methodist. I am so glad that you are exploring our website and would invite you to take a moment to find us on Facebook and Youtube. Those links can be found in the “about” section. I am new to the New York Annual Conference and to Ardsley as of July 1, 2021 when I began as Pastor. This church is unlike any other and I would invite you to explore making this church your spiritual home. Whether you live near Ardsley, are far away, or inbetween, I believe that you will find this space to be inclusive, comforting, and supportive in your journey with Christ. Whether you have knowledge of scripture, know who Jesus is, or just are new to all of this, you are welcome here. We believe in a God of Love that transforms us and calls us to unique places and beautiful spaces. Please email me if you have more questions or want to call and talk. I am available most days and would love to have a conversation with you. Blessings and please stay safe as we continue in this pandemic and continue to love our neighbor. 

Peace of Christ, 

Rev. Calvin Collins
