Blessing Box

Aldersgate is home to one of Jackson’s Blessing Boxes. Church members and community members are welcome to put non-perishable foods and other essentials in the box, or to take whatever they need from the box.

Meals on Wheels

Working with the local Meals on Wheels is a new mission for Aldersgate, providing drivers to deliver meals to homes on a weekly basis.

Project 20/20 Glasses

Aldersgate members donate used eye glasses. These glasses are taken to a place that checks the prescription and then distributes the glasses to people who cannot afford new glasses.

Prayer Box

In 2014 Aldersgate installed a Community Prayer Box in the parking lot for written prayer requests . The prayer box was developed as an extension of Aldersgate’s active prayer ministry. The Community Prayer Box has become a great way for Aldersgate to reach outside the church walls.
