Albany United Methodist Church

Best experience to be had within organized religion.
I came back to the Methodist church just a year ago, after a long absence. Found the sweetest folks, when I ducked out after my first visit there the pastor’s wife ran down the street after me to give me a hug. I’ll never forget that! There are many young families with beautiful children. Also found an abundance of music, old songs of my childhood that are very moving but the best is the small group who sing for 15 mins before the service. You can stay each Sunday for an abundant lunch. The diverse congregation means you have wonderful ethnic dishes to try. The pastor is a treasure, such joyful energy! He lead a small group of us thru a study session last winter that was meaningful and inspiring. For a small church they seem to be involved in a surprising number of community activities. You will find a place to become active as soon as you are ready. I haven’t missed a Sunday this past year, it is necessary to «recharge the batteries» in my very busy life. judy from berkeley

Nice community church. Small diverse congregation that cares about each other & the community. Pastor’s funny & caring. Coffee hour afterwards is always a full on banquet potluck typically featuring home-​cooked Korean eats. Building’s lovely but old, in need of some deferred maintenance, but that’s part of the charm, right ;)
