About - Come Connect Church

Pastors Will & Cindy Aybar, are natives of the Bronx, New York which is also where they met in 1995. They accepted Christ around the year 1998. They are both humbled and gifted servants of God whose ultimate desire is to do the will of God. Pastor will & Cindy moved to the Albany area in 2003 when The Lord spoke to them to leave the Bronx and start a new journey in upstate NY.

Meet the Pastors

Benny and Thalia Alvarez, ministers with over two decades of experience, came to Albany with one goal in mind; to establish a spirit-led church. Their vision goes beyond the establishment of a church; they want to build a strong community that honors the Lord in Spirit and Truth. The couple’s approach to ministry is characterized by love, care, and service, which has sparked a revival in Albany.
