Arise & Build
We are making space to welcome more members into the family of God, a family that was once unknown but has now been chosen by Him. God has laid His hands upon us, bestowing a profound love for His Word and a fervent desire to seek His face.
Thank you, Lord, for the ever-growing family of God.
OUR MISSION
To Prepare the Way
As a revival movement of people, we have heard the cry of a world that waits to know Jesus and are determined to answer it with His presence. We believe that this is the hour for the Church to arise and shine.
Now is the time—time to arise and build for the purposes of our God as people united who are equipped and empowered to impact communities, cities, and nations for Him, bringing His manifest presence into the darkest corners of the earth.
We believe that as we join together as one, we’ll reach those who are “drawn to the brightness of our rising” (Isaiah 60), so that the world that waits to know Jesus is revived through the transformational hope that He alone can bring—as people encounter the power of the living God
ARISE
Foundations & Present Day
Albany (FCOLR) has been championing the cause of revival since the 1970s, maintaining a longstanding legacy of generational movement towards spreading the gospel to the nations. By God's grace and through the teachings of Christ, we have become a part of the family of God, empowering and equipping leaders in all spheres to guide with humble and faithful hearts under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Being part of what God is doing in His church, Albany (FCOLR) stands as a committed voice within the body of Christ, dedicated to advancing His cause to the ends of the earth, all for the glory of God.
BUILD
The Future
This new sanctuary and supporting facilities will help us to care more effectively for the people He has given us. It will also serve as an apostolic resource center that will help to fuel revival and transformation in the nations of the world. In light of that assignment, we have said a collective yes to this responsibility to increase our capacity to host and disciple the nations, facilitating a global revival movement.
We are investing in what we believe will affect the course of world history. In this project, we will arise and build to prepare the way for the greater works of God here on earth through His manifest presence.
Let's stand together in this pivotal hour as a movement of hearts focused on revival to see God's will accomplished on earth as it is in heaven.

Building the Future
Our church community recently launched a GoFundMe to rebuild our facilities — a pillar in Brooklyn for over 30 years, impacting over 1,000 community members daily. In less than a week, we raised $15,000. As a proud New Yorker, I know every and any donation helps. If you're able, might you consider donating to our work? You can find the GoFundMe link below. Thank you so much for considering! PS - Please help us spread the word far and wide within your networks.
This is more than a call.
It’s a mandate for what is ahead. And so we build an apostolic center that will become a worldwide hub to help prepare the way for a global revival movement.
This is more than a building.
It’s participating with Heaven. And as we do, we build an enduring legacy for today’s revivalists and reformers, creating new momentum and preparing the way for generations to come.
