This new location for Madison Square Church was launched on Easter Sunday, March 23, 2008. We will carry Madison's style and flavor with us to a new neighborhood by worshipping in the Gerald R. Ford Middle School, 851 Madison Ave. SE. When we have to refer to this location specifically we'll call this new combination Madison At Ford. The originating building will be called Madison At the Square. Together we are still one church, Madison Square Church.

Pastor Alton has listened to God's calling for us to commit to this neighborhood with solid relationships. To answer this call, we'll be starting on Easter with Madison members who will take some time to build relationships in their circle. Then we'll invite some folks who we already know to expand this circle and build more healthy relationships. So when we reach out to the new circle and invite Ford students, families, and folks from the neighborhood our hearts are open to share our love with them.
