The History of Jesse Lee Church
Our history is long, and our love for Jesus is alive and thriving today.
Our congregation began in Ridgefield in 1789 with circuit rider Jesse Lee, who helped spread the message of Methodism throughout New England. Ever since, Ridgefield’s Methodists have been at work to love others, serve others and share our joy in Jesus.
