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 Schuyler Inn (Menands), St. John’s/St. Ann’s Food Pantry (South Albany), Things of My Very Own (Schenectady), Giffen Memorial and Delaware Community Schools (Albany), CACC Emergency Homeless Overflow Shelter (Albany), the Albany Maritime Ministry Christmas-at-Sea program, and Rehabilitation Support Services (Altamont).
