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
