ADULT GROUPS AND CLASSES
Adult groups and classes are how we build community at Aldersgate Church. Being a part of a group is the best way to help a big church feel smaller. Whether it’s a class, a small group, or bible study, in a group, you’ll connect with people in a similar stage of life, or with similar interests. Together, you’ll build community and foster spiritual growth.
We offer small group bible studies, fellowship groups, women’s and men’s groups, prayer groups, topical classes and mission/service groups. The United Methodist Men and the United Women in Faith also provide a place to plug-in for fellowship, outreach and prayer. We also offer various yoga and wellness classes.
Have an idea for a new small group? Tell us what you’re looking for! Send an email to equip@aldersgate.net.

Potpourri Class
Room 208
Sundays at 9:30am

We begin a study of Adam Hamilton’s “Why Did Jesus Have to Die? —The Meaning of the Crucifixion.” Although the crucifixion is central to the Christian faith, the New Testament offers few clear answers about why Jesus had to die and how his death and resurrection save us. Hamilton explores various ways of understanding how Jesus’ death led to our reconciliation with God.
We will discuss Chapter 1 on Feb. 22nd.
Starting March 1st, we will have a four-week study on Creation Care.
We will resume the Hamilton study on March 29th.

The BASIC Bible study will begin the new year exploring Christianity and World Religions. We will use the 2018 "Revised Edition" Book by Methodist Pastor Adam Hamilton. This study will begin on 1/4/2026 and run through January and February. The study will briefly explore the 5 great religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism. Hamilton produced a DVD in 2005 for the first edition - and we will use that DVD to supplement our study. The BASIC Bible study meets each Sunday in Aldersgate's library just inside Door 3 at 9:30 AM.
Please read the Introduction and Chapter 1 for 1/4/2026.
