There are many different programs that our church participates in as part of in the community. Here is a short list of some of the things we do:

- We participate in many citywide events throughout the year, including Family Day at the Park, Good Friday Services, Youth Group city-wide garage sale, and many others.
- We are part of an Easter Sunrise Service held at the Saratoga National Historical Park with churches from Mechanicville and neighboring Stillwater.
- We co-host summer services with the Methodist Church in Mechanicville.
- Each year we have two major mission campaigns.
- Our youth hold a musical each spring, raising money for different causes that bring in a great deal of community participation.
- Weekly food pantry collection and Souper Bowl Sunday to raise money and food for Mechanicville Community Food Center Pantry.
