We at Aldersgate are very proud of our pastors.  Each one has a distinctive mission within our church family, bringing a unique perspective and exceptional skills to their personal ministry.

Tim Ozment, Lead Pastor

Welcome. As I’ve drawn closer to God I have discovered that Christianity isn’t a destination – it’s a journey. As a pastor I know how important worship is to this journey. Worship is a time to connect with others on the journey – rejoicing and grieving, encouraging and loving one another as we give back to God this gift of our time.
