Mission Statement
The Presbytery of Albany is a covenant community of congregations and
ministers of Word and Sacrament who seek to be faithful children of God
and disciples of Jesus Christ within the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
God has called the Presbytery of Albany to accomplish, in the name of
Jesus Christ, those tasks that are best accomplished by this corporate
expression of the church.
Therefore, we commit ourselves to:
 | give glory to God through worship, prayer, and intentional
spiritual fellowship;
|
| learn from, and rejoice in, our diversity;
|
| strengthen one another for ministry through appropriate training and
leadership development;
|
| provide resources for the varied ministries
within the presbytery community;
|
| develop opportunities for
corporately sharing the gospel and witnessing to God's love in the
world;
|
| carry out the functions required by our membership in the
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.);
|
| evaluate the work of the presbytery
regularly and make those changes necessary to fulfill our mission more
adequately; and
|
| become a sign of God's new creation in Jesus Christ
with the Holy Spirit. |
