On Sunday, August 30th, we’ll celebrate 70 incredible years of Aldersgate UMC!

For seven decades, God has worked through this church to transform lives, build relationships, serve our community, and share Christ’s love.

As we look back on a rich history of faith and fellowship, we also look ahead with excitement and hope for all that God has in store for Aldersgate UMC's future.

Mark your calendars and join us for this special milestone celebration. It's going to be a day filled with joy, gratitude, memories, and community!

Be sure to stick around after the service for a picnic celebration! We will have a bounce house, inflatable obstacle course, petting zoo, food, live music, fellowship, and so much fun!

70 Years of inspiring faith and building community!
