One Church, Many Locations
The Aldersgate Story
Aldersgate Church began in the 1960's as an intentional church plant growing out of the Midland First United Methodist Church. The church first met in the Parkdale Elementary School gymnasium, until it moved to its present location in Midland on Airfield Lane. Since the beginning, the Aldersgate Community has sought to impact Midland and the surrounding communities by knowing Jesus and making him known to others.
As for the name - Aldersgate - it's a sign of the founding passion of our church. Aldersgate is a historical reference to the life-changing experience John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, had at a meeting on Aldersgate Street in England. Wesley found his heart "strangely warmed" and became convinced that his sin was forgiven and God loved him deeply. This experience with Jesus not only changed his life - it compelled him to make sure others experienced Jesus as well. We really long for everyone to have their own 'Aldersgate experience' that transforms their life and impacts all around them.
