WHAT WE BELIEVE |
||
| In the Triune God: God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. | ||
| In the divine inspiration: of the Old and New Testament Scriptures and that they | ||
| contain all truths necessary to faith and Christian living. | ||
| In regeneration: that work of divine grace, whereby the penitent , believing soul is | ||
| made spiritually alive. | ||
| In Sanctification: that work of divine grace, subsequent to Regeneration, whereby the | ||
| believer is purified in heart. | ||
| In the sacraments: Baptism (By any mode; sprinkling, pouring, or immersion.), and | ||
| Holy Communion. | ||
| As the result of Christ's meritorious death on the cross, Salvation is freely offered to | ||
| all who will repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. | ||
| In the second coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, a day of final judgment | ||
| and the eternal destiny of the soul. | ||
| Condensed and paraphrased from: | ||
| "THE BOOK OF DISCIPLINE OF THE | ||
| UNITED METHODIST CHURCH," | ||
| . | (Paragraphs 101 - 104 General Conference 2004) | |

We have been serving the Community for 132 Years |
The
Albany congregation was organized in 1876 as the
Albany Methodist Episcopal Church
North with 55 members. Services
were held in the Masonic Hall (now the feed store on Washington St.) until
the sanctuary was built and dedicated July 1, 1888. We observed
our 125th Anniversary on September 16, 2001.![]() We average around 60 plus worshipers each Sunday to this date, which puts us just over the "Small Church" classification as per the United Methodist Church.
