Christian Education

Sunday School for children and youth is available at 9:30 a.m. All children's church school classes use United Methodist curriculum that follows the church seasons. For more information on classes available for children and youth, please click here.

There are many great adult church school classes here at Aldersgate. They range from contemporary to traditional. For more information to help you choose an adult Sunday school class, please click here.

We have a Wednesday night program for elementary aged children. Kids start out in a large group format, where the Bible story is introduced though a skit. They then go to small group time, where the activities will cover the Bible story, Bible verse, and main point.

Aldersgate offers numerous study opportunities for adults and youth. For information on adult activities, please click here. For information on youth activities, please click here. 

Aldersgate honors all who are entering the third grade by presenting them with a Bible. We hope that this Bible will not only help them in their spiritual life, but that it will also become a good memory of Aldersgate.

Ministering to intermediate elementary kids can be a challenge! They're too old for children's ministry, but too young for the youth group. Let your kids dive into Bible study, fun, and games they'll love. We have a monthly activity for kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade.

Friends of Jesus is for children from Kindergarten through fifth grade to have worthwhile activities during the 11:00 a.m. worship on the Third Sunday of the month. The children learn how to be caregivers and disciples by making caring gifts for others.

Every summer, we try to brighten the days by having a week of Bible Study mixed with fun during July. Look for information in the newsletter, in the bulletin, and on this website.

Every year on the weekend before Halloween, people from the congregation decorate their car trunks in the latest fashion of non-threatening Halloween apparel and pass out treats from them. Free hot dogs and hot cider are served to all. This is a great place to bring your kids for safe trick-or-treating.

Christmas is a very special time to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Children present a pageant with lots of singing and dramatic readings. There are always plenty of parts for everyone. Bring the joy of Christmas to your heart by attending this wonderful program.

There is an endowment to benefit the Christian education of the youth at Aldersgate United Methodist Church. The Kay L. Whitcomb Christian Education Memorial Fund will distribute money annually to any Aldersgate youth through the middle school grades. The money is available as needed, at the request of any youth or parent, for Christian education events, activities, and/or camps sponsored by the church. The requests may be made to the church office.
