    I have attended Third for over 30 years. Since churches are made up of people, there are no perfect…read morechurches, including Third. I have seen a lot in my decades there, some bad, most good, and some amazing. This is a church which actively supports the community that surrounds it, offering groceries and meals, at no cost, to those who need them. Third is also a founding member of Family Promise of Greater Rochester - formerly RAIHN - which seeks to make a dent in homelessness by offering emergency housing, housing assistance, job assistance and more. In the beginning, the emergency housing rotated between several faith communities, with Third providing overnight accommodations for a week at a time in our Education Wing, staffed by volunteers. Please visit https://www.fpgroc.org/ for more information. The East Avenue Grocery Run has raised over $450,000 dollars that go straight to local food pantries and hunger support programs (https://www.groceryrun.org/) All these outreach programs are either partially or fully funded by Third members through their financial contributions. I have participated in these programs and seen, up close and personal, how they touch people's lives in many different ways. I cannot possibly put into this review all that this church has meant to me, but I will say that spiritual growth is always a goal, as are congregational care, children's ministry, music ministry, and of course, outreach. My three boys, who were raised in this church, gained so much from it, and make me proud as adults who care about others and are community-minded. And lest you think otherwise, I am simply a member of the congregation and nobody important, with neither power nor position in the church. There are many like me, and you are welcome to come visit and learn about Third for yourself.

    Prayer, and Spiritual growth is not a strong suit however, maintaining the endowment, pledges, and…read morestewardship giving are. One year while fighting in the streets, so to speak, for higher minimum wages positions at the church were placed on the chopping block from FT to PT while a shaking the congregation's pockets to avert this was the annual meeting tone. Not our fault the endowment was being gauged for many years...end of the day someone ponied up a large gift designated to personnel. Not open yet when most churches are being a "all or no one" statement however, there have been exceptions to this in my time--enabling one individual monetarily, and in various other ways in an unhealthy and unfair to the other's who walk through the door for assistance manner. So, the all or no one theory is not quite on point. Not being open also says when people need the church they are not there for you. Sacrifice losing members now so that the endowment is secure for future generations is how I see it, just my humble opinion! Priorities are more political, and what's trending vs. really caring for the flock. Especially when it comes to metal illness. I was at Third 7 plus years and the final straw (and there were many) was when the interim pastor said mental health isn't a priority right now... In addition, unless you are strict democrat you will struggle as all are welcome, but inclusion is much to be desired! Since leaving this church my anxiety level is minimal, my spirit feels light and I again have a lust for the Word! This church sucked the life and light out of me, and everyone who knows me knows that's not an exaggerated statement! And those who know also can attest to the catalyst at Third which created an increase in my symptoms...so there's that. If you give it a try, but don't go in with your eyes closed! And don't be distracted by the shiny beauty within!

    I would never recommend a parent send any child to Allendale Columbia School. Many of the local…read morepublic school systems offer a better, more complete, and more supportive environment for children. Here's why: My son was abruptly expelled from Allendale Columbia, and the school has made no attempt to rectify the situation. I'm going to communicate the facts of the situation and let you draw your own conclusions about how students are treated by Allendale Columbia. As background, my son (a first grader) has some mild behavioral issues that I acknowledge can be a challenge to deal with. We were working with the school, my son's pediatrician, and my son's therapist. We were seeing positive improvements and our impression was that things were headed in a good direction. On February 24th, 2021, at approximately noon, I informed Allendale Columbia that we might not be returning to the school for the following school year. On the same day, at 3:45pm, I received a call from Interim Head of School Shannon Baudo. Baudo claimed there had been "an incident" in the after school program, provided few details, and told me that my son was expelled from school effective immediately. He never had a chance to say goodbye to his friends or collect his belongings. We never received a written incident report. Two days later, on February 26th, my wife and I had a phone call with Baudo and the lower school principal Michelle Feiss. By this time, Baudo's story changed, and she insinuated that my six year old son had acted inappropriately towards a girl in the after school program. This is an allegation I take extremely seriously, so I called the parents of the girl, who were not aware of the severity of the situation. The school has still provided no proof, and no written incident report. The school refused to refund any tuition, even the tuition for the portion of the school year we did not receive. Only you can make decisions for your family. However, I feel that I'd be doing a disservice to the parent community in Rochester if I did not make you aware of this event, and the school's callous and abrupt response.

    Super impressed with the campus, the students, the staff and the school! Looking into moving my…read moredaughter out of the city district and common core into this wonderful private non-religion based school!
