WHO
WE ARE
+ WHY WE EXIST
We are a gospel-centered community united in loving God and one another. Together we are committed to establishing a culture of honor and excellence that Jesus may be known. We encounter God in our daily lives through prayer, worship, scripture, and other means prescribed by God. We believe we should be passionate about Jesus and connecting others to Jesus.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What's the parking situation?
Street parking is available on North Pearl Street, as well as down the hill on Broadway. If you require handicap parking, pull up to the front of the building and turn your hazard lights on - someone from our Host Team will be out to help you!
Where will my kids go?
We have an awesome Next Gen ministry here at City Church which covers kids from 6 months to 18 years of age. Our Nursery hosts children from infant to 3 years old and our City Kids program teaches kids from 3-12. We also have Student Ministry offered during the week for ages 13-18. Check-in is located directly to the right when you walk in the doorway. (Remember - you can always ask a friendly Host team member for help!)
Everyone involved in our Next Gen ministry is a volunteer, and many have a background in education and/or children of their own. Rest assured that every Next Gen volunteer has been screened and background checked to ensure your child's safety.
What are the services like?
Our Worship Experiences begin at 11am every Sunday - we kick off with roughly 30 minutes of high-energy corporate worship, and then hear a scripture-based message from Pastor Mike before we close out with another worship song. City Kids has their very own program that runs at the same time as the adult service, where they experience fun and engaging teaching that is relevant to their age!
What sort of meet-ups do you offer during the week?
We offer a wide range of Life Groups that meet throughout the week - we gather together in groups of 8-12 to dig further into the Word, build relationships and and experience life together.
MICHAEL MOORE
LEAD PASTOR
Pastor Mike and his wife, Kristi, are two of the original founders of City Church, which began back in 2011 in the upstairs room of a bar in downtown Albany. Their vision was to create a space where all people could come and experience Jesus in a life-transforming way, a vision that remains true today - to see the local church unified to expand the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pastors Mike and Kristi currently live just outside of Albany with their son Judah, and their daughter Allison.
Our
Story
City Church was born in 2011 under the name “White Couch Albany” where a small group of people began gathering to worship in the upper room of Jillian's bar downtown. We’ve moved a whopping sixteen times since then, and we are so grateful that the Lord has always been faithful to provide a place for us to meet and worship.
We are thrilled to now be in our forever home at 445 North Pearl Street, which had its grand opening in the fall of 2022.
