Children’s Ministry Programs

Nursery

Childcare is available for infants thru 3 years old on Sunday mornings from 8:30-12:00. Childcare is also available upon request for weekday and evening Bible studies and church meetings. Please check with your group leader to make arrangements. Our nursery is located in the John Wesley Center, room 102, across from Susanna Wesley.

Sunday School — 9:45-10:55am

Our Classes are divided according to age and grade, with promotion occurring in August (at the start of school). All of the Children’s Sunday School classes are located in our Susanna Wesley Building (Apple Tree) and our John Wesley Center (our Fellowship Hall).

Confirmation Class

This is a nine-month course (during Sunday School) for 6th graders to prepare for full membership in the church. This course includes thorough study, guest speakers, field trips to area churches of other denominations, lock-ins, an overnight retreat and a trip to Alexandria, LA for “Confirmation Day with the Bishop.” This experience teaches the basic beliefs of the Christian faith, and it helps students consider the responsibilities that come with a Profession of Faith and Church Membership. A covenant of commitment is signed at the start of each year.

Children in Worship

Aldersgate United Methodist Church is a very child-friendly, family-friendly church. We offer many ways for our children to participate in Worship. Here are just a few:

  • Acolytes —  Our 3rd-6th graders are invited to assist with the Worship Service by “carrying in the Light of Christ”. An invitation, along with Training Session information, is sent out for new Acolytes at the beginning of each school year.
  • Children’s Moment —  During most of our traditional Worship Services (8:30), the children are invited to come forward to hear a special message presented by an Adult Volunteer. The children (and the Congregation!) look forward to their special time.
  • Children’s Choirs — From time-to-time throughout the school year, our Children’s Choirs will help lead Worship. Some guaranteed times include Palm Sunday and the Sunday after Vacation Bible School, but there are many others (watch the Bulletin and Echo).
