Aldersgate is located at 1050 N. Parkway with entrances off both Parkway and Campbell. You are welcome to join us for Sunday School starting at 9:45. A greeter will meet you at the entrance and direct you to an appropriate class for your needs.
Worship time begins at 10:45. We suggest you arrive 10 minutes early to get familiar with the facility. A greeter will welcome you and answer any questions you may have.
There is no expected "dress code" and you will find a range of attire that the individual feels comfortable in. Additionally, there are no "assigned seats". Please sit wherever you like.
During Worship.
If you visit on the first Sunday of the month, we typically celebrate Holy Communion. We believe the Lord's Table is open to all and you are invited to participate.
You will find worship to be traditional with contemporary elements blended in. Our affirmation of faith is grounded in the historic Apostles' and Nicene Creeds.
Congregational prayer with individual prayer requests will be lifted up. We will have a time for children's moments with the pastor as well as Children's Church during the sermon.
Our music program at Aldersgate is a cornerstone of our worship experience and will include congregational singing and presentations by our Sanctuary Choir and Praise Team. Additionally, there may be a special solo or presentation by our Handbell Choir.
