Albany Lutherans Together (ALT)

Mission and Purpose
Albany Lutherans Together (ALT) – previously known as the ‘Albany Lutheran Cluster’ – is an intentional partnership of the four Albany-area ELCA congregations, including First Lutheran Church (Albany/Pine Hills), Good Shepherd Lutheran Church (Loudonville), Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit (Albany/Delaware Avenue), and St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church (Colonie).
Together we worship – including special midweek liturgies for Advent & Lent and the Great Vigil of Easter – and we give back to our community through regular outreach collections – including the CACC Emergency Homeless Overflow Shelter (Albany), Giffen Memorial and Delaware Community Schools (Albany), the Albany Maritime Ministry Christmas-at-Sea program, Rehabilitation Support Services (Altamont), Global Refuge, and ELCA World Hunger.
