Community Gospel Church

About this church

Community Gospel Church in Rensselaer, just outside Albany, gathers for worship on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. The service combines contemporary worship, fellowship, and Bible-based messages, and the church describes itself as multi-ethnic. It is affiliated with Elim Fellowship, a Pentecostal and Charismatic network. First-time visitors are greeted by members but are not asked to stand or be singled out, and clothing ranges from casual to business attire. Recorded Sunday messages are posted on the church's media page for anyone who misses a week.

Children are cared for in a nursery for ages 0-2 during the Sunday service, and Sunday School classes for pre-K through sixth grade follow afterward. Youth ministry for ages twelve through high school meets Wednesdays from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. A young adult group for ages 18-25 meets in Troy at Russell Sage College. Men's ministry includes Bible studies, a breakfast, and an annual retreat, while women's ministry offers a Saturday morning Bible study and seasonal events. A weekly online prayer meeting runs on Tuesday evenings. Outreach includes a monthly street outreach in Troy, meal service at the Capital City Rescue Mission in Albany, and Operation Christmas Child, along with support for missionaries abroad.
