Adult
Ministries
Adult educational ministries take place through small and large
groups, organized classes, and events which are held throughout
the year. Sunday morning adult ministries include Sunday School
classes. Some are long term classes and others are short term, along
with some more informal groups who meet following worship and then
gather to share about their lives. The classes are open to all who
want to learn more about their faith. A wide variety of mediums
are used including: the Bible, books, video, music, and stories.

Children’s
Ministries
We are committed to supplementing a parent’s
efforts to build a spiritual foundation in their child’s life.
Sunday School, Children’s Choir, Children’s Time at
Sunday Worship, Children’s Church, Camping experiences at
Aldersgate and Casowasco highlight just a few of the ministries
available for children.
Sunday School is available for children from birth though adults.
At the elementary through high school, classes are broken down by
age groups and each class is led by caring and energetic leaders.
We offer a place where caring adults offer a safe environment for
your children during Sunday School. It is a fun place filled with
high-energy music, skits, crafts, and bible based stories and activities.
Snack time is a very important part of class to the students and
the teachers to share together!
Sunday School is where bible stories are shared and the students
learn how to integrate it in their lives. Our staff realizes that
building relationships with children is an important part of teaching
our faith. Together they are committed to helping children understand
that God loves them all the time.
Children’s Church
Children’s church is offered to children
ages 4-7 during the 10:45 worship service beginning immediately
following Children’s Time in worship. The children will experience
God’s love through activities in a safe and nurturing environment.
Nursery
The nursery is offered to children ages newborn
to age 4 during Sunday School and the 10:45 worship service. The
staff is extremely caring and sensitive to children’s needs.
Parents have open access to their children at any time, and this
is a safe place where children can play, share a snack, and interact
with others while allowing you to focus on your own faith journey!
Summer Camp
Camp is open to children and youth ages 5
to 18. Casowasco and Aldersgate
mix summer’s favorite activities into one incredible weeklong
experience that children and youth will never forget. The skits,
water activities, crafts, games, bible studies, and friendships
are essential ingredients in making camp a great summer highlight!
Teens
Ministries
Where Christian Faith and real life converge through a bible-based
program that helps Middle School, and High School students experience
God’s love and expand their understanding of Christ’s
relevance on their daily lives.
Sr. High Class (10th, 11th, and 12th grades)
The Sr. High class is currently using a student led curriculum that
explores everyday issues that teens experience, contrasting it with
biblical teachings. They have small group discussions, journals,
and other activities to learn how to handle these issues in their
lives. Here they find the ingredients of support, encouragement,
and acceptance through building close relationships with each other
and with the leaders who reinforce the Christian faith. They develop
a spiritual attitude and life.
Jr. High Class (7th and 8th grade)
In addition the Jr. High Class is dealing with everyday, real issues
that youth are facing at home, in school, and with their peers.
The conflicts of trying to meet parental and personal expectations,
handle responsibilities, and fit in all at the same time are challenges
for youth. They work through the art of balancing all this, and
learn how their faith can be supportive and caring. This class prepares
them to learn how to make long lasting faith decisions.
Note. Jr. High and Senior High have been combined
2012-2013. We are having a dynamic time.
Youth Group (7th grade – 12th grade)
Youth Group consists of great music, upbeat leaders, and lots of
fun. It generates an atmosphere of excitement and encouragement
and creates a place to connect with God and friends. God’s
word is taught through a variety of activities through out the year
such as Kingdom Bound, Work Camp, games, bible study, music, etc.
Summer Camp

experience that kids will never forget. The skits, water activities,
