Dec 28, 2025
Jyl Duffy
Welcome! We're so glad you're here!
As United Methodists, we are the church with "Open Hearts, Open Minds and Open Doors".
John Wesley often stated, "The world is our parish". We invite everyone to come, worship with us and grow in the love of God, self and neighbor.
Our purpose is twofold -- to grow spiritually as followers of Jesus Christ and to live as Jesus' disciples making a difference in our homes and in our contemporary world.

Each month we will be featuring a different mission. This month’s mission will support
Aldersgate Barnabas Committee
The focus of this group is on the members and friends of Aldersgate; specifically, those who are shut-ins or are residing in our care facilities. The work of this group is to visit these individuals and share the love of God and the care of Aldersgate people. Cards and well-wishes are written at each meeting and plans are always made to find ways to meet those who are now unable to travel outside of their home. In their own words, “we wish to bring them a feeling of belonging and an unfailing faith. It is important that we bring them a little sunshine, a break in any lonesomeness, an avenue to express any occurrences that bring them happiness or unhappiness that they need to express. Our visits are a chance for them to talk, to reminisce, or express whatever they are pondering.”
Barnabas are the card-writers of our community. This lost art continues as members of Aldersgate receive cards for birthdays, anniversaries, and special events.
Midweek Lipreaders
"The Midweek Lipreaders meet on Wednesdays at 10:00 AM - beginning January 14 - and will explore Parables from the Back Side by J. Ellsworth Kalas. The book presents new insight into twelve of Jesus' parables by entering them through a unique starting point, a creative retelling, a new "lens" or the eyes of a minor or unsympathetic character.
This class is based on Godly conversation fueled by “Sacramental Methodist brew.”

What We Believe:
From its beginnings with John Wesley and the Methodist circuit riders, The United Methodist Church has focused on bringing the Word of God to all of God’s children. We do this by preaching and studying God’s Word as set forth in the Bible, observing the sacraments, praising God in work and song, living in Christian fellowship, and by reaching out to all persons, no matter their age, gender, race, economic, social or other status.
