Our Children\u2019s Ministries programs are where discipleship training begins. Starting as early as our nursery and preschool-aged children, we have developed facilities and curriculum to encourage children to feel God\u2019s love and learn how to be disciples of Christ. Our school-age program seeks to teach the children fundamental scripture and Bible stories using several types of learning styles.<\/p>\n

At Aldersgate United Methodist Church, we believe that children are a blessing from God. It is our goal to share God\u2019s love with our children and create a fun and loving experience for both the children and their parents.<\/p>\n
We encourage all parents and anyone with a heart for children to serve in our Children’s Ministry. If you are interested in volunteering, please notify a nursery staff person or call the church office (244-1820 ext. 204). We follow Safe Sanctuary guidelines at Aldersgate, which includes background checks and policy training. Opportunities for this training are provided through out the year.<\/p>\n
The Team<\/h3>\n
Our paid workers and volunteers are committed to providing a safe, caring and nurturing Christian environment for your child.\u00a0 We want you to feel comfortable about your child\u2019s well-being while you attend worship service and other programs at Aldersgate.<\/p>\n
Nursery\/Preschool<\/span><\/h4>\nFor infants through age K5, care is provided in the nursery area both during the 9:40 am Sunday School hour and the 10:46 am Refuge Worship Service.<\/p>\n
Our Nursery\/Pre-school ministry is located in the classroom area below the sanctuary. Access to this area is through a door to the left of the main sanctuary door, upstairs in the Commons area.<\/p>\n
By the time they reach preschool age, there are special resources outside of the sanctuary to help them begin to participate in our Refuge worship service if so desired.\u00a0 Things like “busy bags”, crayon pouches, clipboards with activity pages and our Children’s Time.<\/p>\n
Children’s Time is a short lesson within the worship service created just for them.\u00a0 During these few minutes, they are invited to come forward to join the pastor or leader for a story or object lesson designed just for them. After that, they can stay in the service with you or head downstairs for continued care.<\/p>\n
Elementary<\/span><\/h4>\nAs the children reach school-age, they have the option to transition to their own 9:40 am christian formation class called “The Bridge”.\u00a0 Using an exploratory approach, this class looks at core stories from the Bible.\u00a0 Students can express their thoughts and questions through art, engineering and word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bridge is located in the Soul Cafe which is down the hallway to the right of the gymnasium.<\/p>\n
We welcome any questions, concerns or suggestions you might have that will help our nursery and preschool ministries continue to grow and be a welcoming place for all church members and visitors. Please contact Johannah Myers at (864) 244-1820.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Student Ministry Page! At Aldersgate, our youth group begins at 7th grade to 12th. Our current programming nights are below.\u00a0 Give us a call if you think your student would be interested in coming along. We can help extend an invitation.<\/p>\n
Sundays<\/h3>\n
Our activities on Sundays are more recreational in nature, but often do include a missional element. We know the importance of providing opportunities for our youth to enjoy their time together. Learning happens differently for everyone.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wednesday Nights\u00a0<\/h3>\n
During the school year, we sponsor a family night program called Connect. This is our night for small group Bible studies. We take the time to read and discuss the Bible and what lessons it can share for our lives right now.<\/p>\n
Please contact Johannah for times and dates.\u00a0 864-244-1820<\/p>\n

At Aldersgate, our youth group begins at 7th grade to 12th. Our current programming nights are below.\u00a0 Give us a call if you think your student would be interested in coming along. We can help extend an invitation.<\/p>\n Our activities on Sundays are more recreational in nature, but often do include a missional element. We know the importance of providing opportunities for our youth to enjoy their time together. Learning happens differently for everyone.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n During the school year, we sponsor a family night program called Connect. This is our night for small group Bible studies. We take the time to read and discuss the Bible and what lessons it can share for our lives right now.<\/p>\n Please contact Johannah for times and dates.\u00a0 864-244-1820<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”vAlign” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.3″ text_font=”|300|||||||” text_font_size=”18px” link_font=”|700|||||||” link_text_align=”left” link_text_color=”#e21e2d” link_font_size=”18px” max_width=”950px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Salkehatchie<\/strong> \u2013 SC Conference Service Program for high school age and older.
