Supporting all youth in grades 6 through12

The Aldersgate Youth Ministry welcomes and embraces the youth of the Aldersgate UMC family and its community. All youth are welcome -- you don't have to be a Methodist or a member of Aldersgate to participate in your Youth Ministries.

Youth Ministry at Aldersgate UMC includes Aldersgate Youth Group (grades 6-12) and the Confirmation Program (grades 6+). Both programs provide an opportunity for youth to have fun, build new relationships, perform service in the community and beyond, and grow in their faith in a supportive and encouraging environment.

For more information, please contact us at youth@aldersgate.net.

Your child’s safety is our priority.

Confirmation Program

The Confirmation Program at Aldersgate UMC is an opportunity for students to respond to the workings of God's grace in their lives. The goal of the Confirmation Program is for students to begin to understand for themselves what it means to be a Christian and a member of God's Church. Upon completion of the class, students will be given the opportunity to profess their faith and become church members. Confirmation this year is open to rising 7th grade and up students. It will be taught this year by Cheryl Bratten and Molly Johnson.

If you have questions, or would like more information, please contact us at confirmation@aldersgate.net
