Serve

For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve...

- Jesus in Mark 10:45

At Aldersgate Church we deeply believe that the church is not a building, rather the church is actually the people, people called by God to make a difference in the lives of others.  A huge part of a mature spiritual life is the desire to serve others rather than waiting to be served by others.  This is what we see in the life of Jesus, and we deeply believe Jesus calls all who follow him to live the same way.  

If you are looking for a way to use your time and talents to serve others, we'd love to help you find your place.
