Jesus said, "Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them." (Matt 18:20)

We believe small groups of people sharing Christ and life together is how God designed us to live in community. We can see an example of this by looking at Jesus Christ's own life with his disciples. They ate together, laughed together, and wept together. They simply did life together.

Albright Church wants to provide a place where you can experience this kind of love while growing spiritually and developing meaningful relationships and a place where you can share ideas and concerns and know you are safe, accepted, and respected. It is our prayer that everyone who calls Albright Church their home will join a Small Group and find the benefits of living life in community as God designed it for us.

Four Core Values

  1. A place where relationship matters.
  • to be accepted and cared for
  • to share needs and concerns
  1. A place where truth matters.
  • place a high value on God’s Word
  • to understand the relevance of God’s Word to our everyday lives
  1. A place where faith matters.
  • to spend time in bringing our needs before our Father
  1. A place where outreach matters.
  • to reach out to others to bring them into a growing relationship with Christ

Here at Albright Church we have many Small Groups, each with its own unique flavour, meeting at various times and places throughout the week. Specific focuses include Topical Study Groups, Service, Seniors, Family Life, Bible Study, Marriage, and Faith Sharing. Come and check us out and get connected.
