I just figured out that you almost certainly meant Albany, GA and not Albany, NY. 😂
Either way, my advice would be do not let another fallen human define who God is for you. Do that for yourself.
I've been to horrible churches myself where, hand to God, I felt the presence of evil. I left and found another church. The last one had a GIGANTIC statue of a white dove outside...and inside, the first thing I saw was a group of midgets talking in tongues. Nope, I'm not joking. We stayed for about 10 minutes and then we had seen enough.
