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.

Join us in June for our adult Sunday School studies. On June 7 we will look at the spiritual lives of some of the great composers. On June 14, 21, and 28 we will study some familiar children's Bible stories from an adult point of view using Josh Scott's "Bible Stories for Grown-Ups." We will examine the stories of Noah, Jonah and Zacchaeus to discover a more mature understanding of these scriptures.

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.
