Aldersgate United Methodist Church

About this church

Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Wilmington, Delaware, meets on Concord Pike just north of the Fairfax Shopping Center, in a large A-frame building. Most Sundays include two services: a contemporary service at 9 a.m. in the auditorium with the Journey Band, and a traditional service at 11 a.m. in the sanctuary with the Chancel Choir, organ, and piano. Unified services at 10 a.m. are held periodically during the year, and both regular services can also be watched live on YouTube or Facebook. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month. Dress is casual, and the site notes that everything from suits to shorts is common.

Children are welcome in worship, and the 9 a.m. service includes a children's message. A nursery is staffed every Sunday from about 30 minutes before the first service until about 30 minutes after the last one. From September through May, Sunday School for all ages runs between the services, from 10 to 10:50 a.m. Children's classes are organized by age group, and Vacation Bible School serves ages 3 to 10. The church also lists youth, adult, and music ministries, congregational care, and community service opportunities, plus Arts at Aldersgate concerts. Visitors are advised to arrive about 10 minutes early. Main parking lots are north of the building, with accessible parking and a ramp on the south side. Confirm times on the website before visiting, since schedules can vary.
