WORSHIP THAT’S MEANINGFUL & AUTHENTIC
Worship is an important experience that helps us connect with God and other believers. It is often the first contact that first-time guests get to know who we are as a congregation. Because of this, we provide a worship experience that is meaningful…both energizing and speaks to a deep faith journey.
Aldersgate provides vibrant and authentic worship every Sunday. We are more traditional in our worship style, but we are ever mindful of presenting a casual and connected service. Music includes time cherished hymns of our tradition, spirituals, as well as some of the contemporary songs.
We realize as a church that we must walk the line between being culturally relevant and continuing to embody the significant traditions of the past. We seek to fulfill this through the general order of our worship service—by incorporating relevant experiences with theologically rich hymns and by finding ways that important liturgies can be used in a meaningful way.

WHAT TO EXPECT
At Aldersgate, we believe that worship is one of the most important places where we can connect to God and to other believers. We worship Sundays at 9:30 a.m. Nursery care is available during worship and Sunday school for children under 4. Sunday School is at 10:50 a.m. for children, youth, and adult, ages 3 to whenever.
Our services are traditional, with a casual air to them. We use prayers and creeds as well as the occasional video clip. We approach God with reverence but we also realize that God is with us no matter where we are. There are persons that come to worship dressed-up while others feel more comfortable with more informal dress. The important things is being comfortable to be yourself.
We believe that you take the time to come, we should take the time to put together a worship that is meaningful, enjoyable, and inspirational.
MISSION STATEMENT
At Aldersgate we believe that every person is a beloved child of God. We welcome each person into full participation in the life of this community and offer a safe and loving environment for everyone.
Aldersgate UMC is a community of faith that is serious about providing an atmosphere where all people feel welcome to be their selves and we give them the tools to deepen their relationship with God.
Aldersgate supports and uplifts all those that have a desire to be in a transformational relationship with God. We understand that not all persons have had a positive relationship with church life, however, we encourage you to experience a grace-filled church that welcomes you just as you are.
The goal of Aldersgate is not only to welcome but also to equip and send out. We are a church that focuses on the complete family, no matter what stage of life you are in. We welcome children, youth, young adults, adults, and seniors into our multi-generational setting. We would like to invite you to worship with us.

We will offer unconditional love to all persons, especially to vulnerable children and families. We will seek out the forgotten. We will expand our worship experience and allow God to work through us in creative ways. We will share and celebrate trans formative stories.
