Hi there! Welcome to Aldersgate.

Aldersgate is a vibrant, inclusive Christian community growing in faith, love, health and service. We’ve been at this lovely creek-side location for nearly 50 years and our members include original “founding families” as well as young adults, new families and many others new to the area.

We believe all people are of sacred worth and welcome everyone into the worship life, membership and leadership of our church, regardless of race, gender, national origin, sexual orientation or economic condition.

Check us out on Sunday mornings this summer at 10:00am for our combined worship service. We will go back to our regular worship schedule at 9:00am and 11:00am on September 8th. We think you’ll like what you find. Click here for details.

An online Vacation Bible School Study for Youth and Adults, part 2 Many space stories feature what we call alien life forms, but the word alien doesn't always mean a creature from a galaxy far, far away.

Next Chapters

This Sunday is our first one-service Sunday of the summer. The service itself is both hopeful and a bit painful. It is hopeful because we have a new member or two joining the church. It is a bit painful because we have two departures both of which involve saying goodbye. One of the departures is the Hampson…

Signs in our Midst

This week in worship, we will continue to celebrate the beginnings of the church at Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit to God's people. Just as at the first Pentecost, we'll watch for signs in our midst that God is making it possible to bridge divides between us. We'll pay attention for how God is…

Pentecost

Brian McLaren's book, "We Make the Road by Walking" has chapters for this season with titles starting with 'Uprising.' Jesus Christ was to…

Budget Update

This week at Common Table, Jim Phillips, chair of the church’s Finance committee, explained the extent of our budget shortfalls. For our current fiscal year, we anticipate that our expenses will exceed our income. For the coming six-month period from July 1-December 31, 2019, we foresee another deficit.

Stewardship campaign

We'll celebrate the ways we have been able to support our staff and our mission in this place through giving of our time and treasure and talents.
