About Albany OCF
Albany OCF is an Orthodox Christian Fellowship chapter based in New York’s Capital Region. Our chapter was founded in 2021 and has members from Union College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, SUNY Albany, and Skidmore College.
Our members are connected to the Vine of Christ through the Antiochian, Greek, Serbian, and Russian Orthodox Churches.
We generally follow a Wednesday meeting schedule throughout the school year.
Get in touch
Itinerary will be shared and discussed in our public Discord Room. This is also an accessible place to talk about theology, church life, and our experience living the faith.
We will be moving away from discord and to a local XMPP server. This is more secure and “freer” than depending on a major corporation.
Please direct inquiries to secretary@albanyocf.org.
