At Aldersgate, we endeavor to worship in a way that is faithful to scripture, and vital and attractive to those who attend. We depend upon the presence of the Holy Spirit to inspire and inform us as we gather in Christ's name. We come together to praise God, to confess our sins and receive forgiveness, to be challenged by scripture and preaching and to be sent out into a hurting world as Jesus' apostles in our day.

On most Sunday mornings we worship God at 9:00am and 10:30am. Although identical in many ways, each of these services has its own unique character. Services for each week are based on scripture readings which may be found by clicking here .

Our 9:00 service is the smaller of the two in attendance. It is less formal in the sense that Pastor Wehrle leads it from "in the congregation" and preaches from the center aisle rather than from the pulpit. Although we follow the same order of worship for both the 9:00am and 10:30am services, at 9:00 there are no choir anthems or responses. Faith Factor , our praise band, usually presents the music for worship at the 9:00 a.m. Service. Those inclined toward a worship service that is more intimate and relaxed may wish to join us at 9:00.

The service of worship that begins at 10:30 is what some would call a traditional United Methodist service. Usually, Pastor Wehrle preaches from the pulpit and the congregation is much larger. This is the service which includes a full music program of prayer and praise, where our choirs sing anthems and responses. The same order of worship is used at this service as in the first service.

In addition to Sunday morning worship, we have several special services throughout the year. During Lent we have Ash Wednesday, Holy Thursday and Good Friday services as well as mid-week services. At Thanksgiving we participate in an interfaith service in our community and have our own Christian service of worship on Thanksgiving morning. Other special occasions are also observed.
