First Congregational Church of Albany
First Congregational Church of Albany, Church building in Albany, New York.
The First Congregational Church of Albany stands on Quail Street featuring Colonial Revival architecture with a modernist addition completed in 1961, designed by architects Fuller & Robinson and Charles A. Schade.
The church hosted the pivotal Albany Convention in 1852, drawing ministers from multiple states and Canada to discuss church relations and slavery, marking a turning point for Congregationalist independence in America.
The congregation maintains an inclusive worship environment that welcomes diverse groups and partners with local organizations including SUNY Albany campus ministry and homeless shelters for community outreach programs.
Sunday services are held every morning at 10 am with live broadcasts available on Facebook, preceded by Bible study sessions at 9:30 am in handicap accessible facilities.
The church preserves its original altar and baptismal font from its earlier downtown location, symbolizing continuity as the congregation transitioned to its current building in 1919.
