We Welcome You and the People of Emmanuel, East Syracuse

Welcome to St. Alban's Episcopal Church, Syracuse. 
If you are looking for a smaller parish where people know and care for each other, St. Alban’s is a great place to be. Together we worship our Lord Jesus Christ and serve the world in His name. On January 1, 2025 Emmanuel Episcopal Church in East Syracuse will merge with St. Alban's. We warmly welcome their members to St. Alban's!

Each Sunday we gather for Holy Communion at 9:30, with social time following at coffee hour. Before the service Mother Julie leads Bible Study at 8:30 a.m. [Beginning January 4, 2025 we will worship at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, with Bible Study at 9:00 a.m.] There are many opportunities to be involved, whether it is being part of the service, bringing cookies to coffee hour, or participating in community outreach.

Inclusive Community

St. Alban’s is a progressive, inclusive congregation. We welcome everyone regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, ability, or sexual orientation. While many members of our congregation were raised in the Episcopal Church, others have joined us from other denominations. If you are curious about what it means to be an Episcopalian, we would be more than happy to answer your questions. 

​Commitment to Our Neighbors

Our congregation places a high value on being part of the community in which we are located.  There are AA groups on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings.

We serve God and God's people.

Furthermore, we engage in a number of outreach initiatives to support organizations working in the community, . The issues on which we focus most of our attention are Food Justice and Refugee Assistance. Throughout the year we participate in a number of outreach activities focused on these two issues, including cooking food and making sandwiches at the church twice a month, volunteering at a food bank on Syracuse’s south side and collecting food for local food banks, volunteering at food banks and collecting items for newly arrived refugee families.

St. Alban’s also partners with two other Episcopalian congregations on the East side of Syracuse—St. David’s in Dewitt and Emmanuel in East Syracuse—for fellowship and service to the community. East Side Episcopalians also gathers four times a year for joint worship. ​
