Connecting with God:
Join us for Sunday worship
We'd love to have you join us for a Sunday service! Here is what to expect:
- We worship together at 10AM on Sundays. Services are also live streamed on our
Facebook and YouTube pages. - We worship using the liturgy of the Reformed Church in America. God calls us into worship, and we respond with praise. We share in honest confession and receive unconditional forgiveness. We delight in God's Word and respond with giving and singing. Once a month we enjoy the communion meal together. Our worship continues as God sends us out to glorify God with our whole lives.
- Children of all ages are welcome in our service. We have activity bags and an interactive children's message. We believe the noise of children are a blessing to have in the sanctuary!
- Our sanctuary has wheelchair access at the back of the building, and hearing assistive devices are available. Please alert an usher if you need assistance or have any specific needs during the service.
History
Lisha’s Kill Reformed Church is a congregation of the Reformed Church in America (RCA). We are part of the Regional Synod of Albany, which is comprised of local classes, or groups of congregations, which support one another and hold each other accountable. Lisha’s Kill is a member of the Schenectady Classis.
In 1852 certain members of the the Niskayuna Reformed Church petitioned the Classis of Schenectady to form their own congregation. In 1854 the newly-formed congregation dedicated its own church in the hamlet of Lisha’s Kill (“kill” being Dutch for “creek”), located in the town of Colonie, Albany County, New York.

Special Fellowship Events: Occasionally during the year we have special brunches, dinners and outings, such as the Congregational Christmas Dinner, Women's Banquet, caroling to shut-ins, and other events planned by the fellowship committee.
Creative Ministries: Once a month craft enthusiasts and beginners gather to share a time of scrap-booking, knitting, sewing, and other forms of crafting.
