At Aldersgate we work in partnership with non-profit organizations locally, nationally, and globally to feed the hungry, fight homelessness, and empower children and women to break the cycle of dependency and transform their lives for themselves. We are committed to leading new generations into a greater life of generosity and service in Jesus’s name. Together, our church serves thousands of hours per year for our outreach partners in Alexandria and Washington, D.C. Several times a year, Aldersgate sends volunteer teams to the Highlands of Guatemala and to the White Mountain Apache Reservation in Arizona. Thanks to the generosity of our members, we also operate an endowment to help those in crisis and get families out of homelessness. If you are in crisis, or know someone who is, please call the church office at 703-765-6555 for information on the Not Too Far From Here fund. When you give to Aldersgate Church, a tithe of your giving goes directly to support outreach efforts locally, nationally, and globally.

Courageously living and sharing God's unconditional love every day, with everyone, everywhere. GIVE TO ALDERSGATE UMC "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV) The theme for our 2025 Stewardship Campaign is based on the scripture passage in 1 Peter in which Peter encourages every person to put into practice the gifts God has given to serve those around us. Having the Heart of a Servant for Christ uses our gifts and talents to multiply the church's impact on our community. It takes all of us helping in big and small ways to run this beautiful church that means so much to us and our community. We invite you to make a commitment of your time and talents for 2025 using the online form accessed by the button, below. The areas listed on the form are just a sample of ways you can use your time and talents. Each section has an "Other" area where you can add suggestions that align with this ministry. We'd love to hear your suggestions on where you see your talents fitting. The ministry leaders for each team will be in touch with you in early 2025. Thank you for sharing your talents and skills to support your church and community. We appreciate you! Time & Talent Commitment Card Prayer Calendar Watch our video highlighting the ministries of Aldersgate UMC Doing All the Good We Can If you have not done so already, we invite you to make a commitment of your financial resources in 2025. Please consider renewing your pledge this year or making a new commitment if you have not been able to pledge in the past. Please know that all gifts of all amounts matter. Campaign Financial Pledge Form Stewardship Testimonial Videos Qualified Charitable Distribution View the church's monthly financial reports Monthly Financial Reports Campaign Progress 157 Pledges Received as of January 15th, 2025 Goal: $1,000,000 $884,905.72 Thank you for your contribution and commitment to Aldersgate UMC! Our Operating Budget The reason for making a pledged commitment is to support the annual expenses for the operating budget for the church. The operating budget is the cost of all the expenses of the church to include programs, missions, apportionments, salaries, overhead, etc. The total operating budget for 2025 is projected to be $1.583 million. We rely on pledged commitments, non-pledged donations, and other revenue to meet these expenses. Our goal is to receive pledged commitments for a total of $1,000,000. Note on Mission Funding in the Operating Budget The 5% for mission expenses does not include support from the UMM and UWF support of missions. Apportionments also support missions, and there are restricted funds designated for missions. Many members of the church support missions directly. Staff 44% Facilities 29% Apportionments 13% Mission Expenses 5% Administration 9% You are asked each fall to make a commitment through the "Stewardship Campaign" for the upcoming year so that we can appropriately plan which missions we will be able to support, events we can plan to have, repairs we can expect to be able to make, etc. The amount you give is a personal matter. When deciding on how much to give, remember that scripture indicates that tithing is the standard and that giving one-tenth of our income to God through the church is the norm or a goal to attain.
