We are excited to welcome you to First United Methodist Church, Albany. Though we are a fairly large church, most people find connecting here easy. We have a wide variety of small groups, classes, and activities from which you can choose and explore the life of the church. At First United Methodist Church, Albany our first priority is to help you grow in your engagement with Jesus Christ. We believe one of the primary means of spiritual growth occurs through membership, where you are presented many opportunities to express your faith in Christ and engage with the church through your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.

In addition we offer a quarterly “Next Steps” new member class. Whether you are just starting on your faith journey or further along on your path of discipleship, this is a great place to plug in and meet others. “Next Steps” is a short, 6-week course on the basics of discipleship in the United Methodist Church. 

We would love to help you plan an upcoming visit.  For many, it can be intimidating to visit on your own. Submit the form to the right and let us prepare for your arrival by having someone meet you and help show you around.
