Albany First Church of God

We are a Family -- believers in Jesus Christ.

We believe . . .

God is the Creator of everything, including humanity. We believe that all have been created in God's image.

God is our Refuge People are hurting, troubled, searching, and many find themselves alone and lonely even in the midst of a community the size of Albany. We reach out to our community in order to introduce them to Jesus Christ who said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except  through me" (John 14:6).

We are a multi-generation church-- believers from little children to senior citizens! Each one learning what part they can play in fulfilling God's purposes for their lives.

Welcome! We will welcome you, love you, and help you pursue God's best for your life. We are a family of believers,

We believe that God has given us five essential purposes to fulfill in our lives.

1. To bring glory to God through our Worship of Him
   Worship is more than the songs we sing, the prayers we pray, and the time we spend together on Sundays. Worship encompasses our lives. So our jobs/careers become an expression of worship as do our hobbies, family life, leisure activities, in everything!
   
   
2. To experience the Web of relationships in the Body of Christ
   We value the fellowship we share with others in the Family of God. This we refer to as the Web .We pray together and for each other. We are growing in our love for each other and value our unique contribution to the church.
   
   
3. To study the Word He has given us. We have a desire to learn more from God's Word: to read it, study it, and apply it to our lives, committed to growing in spiritual maturity
   
   
4. To join together in the Work of ministry God has called us to serve others because life is not just about me, it is about others. And as we mature we focus our eyes on the needs of others.
   
   
5. To be a Witness of the love of Jesus Christ. We are witnesses to what God can do in people's lives. Many of us have been rescued by God from some of life's great hurts and troubles. We want others to know what we have found through our relationship with Jesus Christ!

  Won't you come see what is here for you?

We like the way the Church of God identifies its members. No one person decides that another will or will not be admitted to membership in a local group. Neither congregations nor congregational leaders vote on who shall be received as members. The Church of God believes that when one accepts Jesus Christ as Savior, God places that person in the church (Acts 2:47; 1 Corinthians 12:18). Salvation is the criterion for membership in a congregation of the Church of God. Learn more...
