NURSERY

Our nursery is a loving first step into faith, where little ones experience gentle care, joyful play, and the beginnings of belonging.

What to Expect: 

  • Caring volunteers and familiar faces each week 

  • Gentle playtime, songs, and simple Bible stories 

  • 5:1 child-to-volunteer ratio for personal attention 

  • Allergy-aware environment (no snacks provided by church) 

  • Worship service audio streamed into the nursery 

FIRST FAITH MOMENTS

Safe, Nurturing Care for Our Youngest Disciples  

At Aldersgate, even our littlest ones experience the love of Christ. The nursery offers a warm, faith-filled space for infants and toddlers (8 weeks–age 3) so parents can worship with peace of mind. 

Nursery Hours: Sundays, 8:50 AM – 12:00 PM (Room 110)

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
 

— Matthew 19:14
