At Aldersgate United Methodist Church, we believe that children are a blessing from God.  It is our goal to share God’s love with our children and create a fun and pleasant experience in our nursery and preschool programs for both the children and their parents.

We encourage all parents of infants, toddlers and preschoolers and anyone with a heart for children to serve in our nursery.  If you are interested in volunteering in our nursery just one Sunday a month, please notify a nursery staff or call the church office.

The Nursery Team – comprised of team leaders, paid workers and volunteers – is committed to providing a safe, caring and nurturing Christian environment for your child so that you feel comfortable about your child’s well-being while you attend worship service and other programs here at Aldersgate.

The Preschool Express offers a creative and engaging way to learn for children aged 3 to 5.  It is part of our Rotation Sunday school program and makes learning God's word fun and memorable!

We welcome any questions, concerns or suggestions you might have that will help our nursery and preschool ministries continue to grow and be a welcoming place for all church members and visitors.  Please contact Johannah Myers or Ruth Hughes at (864) 244-1820At Aldersgate UMC, we believe that children are a blessing from God.  It is our goal to share God’s love with our children and create a fun and pleasant experience for both the young children and their parents. 

Our Preschool & Nursery Ministry serves children from newborn through K5.  Rooms are staffed by paid caregivers and volunteers, all of whom have been trained through our Safe Sanctuary program.  Our care is structured as follows:

• Care is provided during both worship services for newborns through age 5 (who are not enrolled in school).  Kindergarten age children are invited to participate in our Children in Worship program during the 11:00 a.m. worship service.
• Sunday School classes are provided for 3 year olds through K5.

 In our nursery/preschool ministry, we strive to provide:

• A safe and nurturing environment for our children.
• A place where God's presence is felt.
• A place where parents can interact with each other on behalf of their children.

Our Nursery/Pre-school ministry is located in the area below the sanctuary.  Access to this area can be found through two entrance doors along the Edward's Road "drop-off" drive or through the door to the left of the main sanctuary door upstairs in the Commons area.

It is our mission that every time an opportunity for study, service, or Worship takes place at Aldersgate that we provide child care.
