First Congregational Church - albany - Albany (NY)

The Tourist Trip This place has been a beacon to the city of Albany showing others what loving your community and neighbors looks like in the most simple and practical ways. I found these guys through a Serve Albany brochure at a local coffee shop. They have been bringing together volunteers to serve this city through different non profit partners. I have found this place to be a open, welcome and safe space to explore my in faith tradition with others who are seeking a God far beyond the feeble limitations of our collective understanding and knowledge. Shout out to Jon, the pastor, who has assisted in helping shape this vision.

Angelina Ufomba This has been my home church for a number of years,love the word and the teaching!!!

Panchita DeAlbany Honestly …do not think I have ever written a review on purpose. In fact do not really see myself as a person that addresses their thoughts in a public manner. In the craziness of the world, and the state of some people lives at this moment..those that are sick ..those that have lost their jobs .. those that have lost loved ones.. those that are struggling with mental illness..I have learned to PRAY..and…PRAY..and..PRAY .. I have learned to read scripture and even if I don’t always understand it. I learned to seek to understand.. my life has been soooo much easier… even when it was hard… I say all this to say.. EMPIRE CHRISTIAN CENTER… it’s Pastors .. Tre and Christina… it’s people that have dedicated their lives to growing in the word.. have guided me …inspired me.. and by choice I am grounded in HIM. This month is our prayer and fasting month every year we work through a workbook.. together we live through the word ..guided through this eloquently written and thoughtful workbook… and TOGETHER.. we rise not alone not separated.. not straying to our own agendas.. but TOGETHER.. Our Pastors and friends make this possible each year.. and we grow..individually because of it..this is what church is about..strong leaders that equip us to live strong lives .. and a congregation full of dedicated servants all growing in the word..10 plus stars ❤️

Courtnie Finkell Peaceful Love and Communication: Nothing better than Our Fathers Communion Celebration. 8 am mass was lovely today..nice to see so many on All Saints Day :-)

Bernadene Love the thrift store! They have a lot of clothes, homeware and little nicknacks you need. You select what you want to buy and bring it to the staff at the cashiers. They’ll tell you the final price. Often items are not more than a couple of dollars. God bless them for their service.

Clifton Amponsah The worship is amazing, the sermons are impactful and the people that go to each church are welcoming. A great spirit-filled church to attend.

Christine Harvey Yes the Greek festival here is amazing but dont forget - this is a church. The people at the church are warm, friendly, welcoming. Father Pat can connect with you on a level many priests just cant. He is a huge blessing to the church. The services are wonderful, great choir too. Its a place to connect with God and feel part of a great community -even if youre not Greek.

Benny Babiyev A wonderful place where you always feel warmth and support! Here, you can find not only spiritual guidance but also become part of a friendly and caring community. The atmosphere is filled with love, and the services are truly inspiring. They also have amazing youth services, where young people can grow in faith, connect with others, and find encouragement. Grateful for the opportunity to be here!
