About Aldersgate Abilene Methodist Church
Aldersgate Abilene Methodist Church Academy
Aldersgate Abilene Methodist Church Academy has served local families since 1987, providing a nurturing environment rooted in Christian values. Under the long-term leadership of Director Tina Weaver, who has been with the Academy for over 10 years, the program utilizes the Creative Curriculum and Texas Education Agency (TEA) Pre-K guidelines to ensure children are academically prepared for their next steps. The staff is noted for their tenure and professional approach to early childhood development. The facility is equipped with a secure buzzer and swipe card entry system to prioritize safety. Children enjoy an outdoor playground and age-appropriate classroom settings.

What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
This is my home away from home. I have grown in my faith and friendships thanks to this church! ❤️
This church has accepted and loves me with all my flaws. Beautiful people worshiping together each week.
Went to a Church Sale we got there door was open. went in a couple of older Ladies oh were Closed but we will give you 15 mins. My wife stayed in there i went outside to wait on my wife. i am sure they were tired but very Grouchy a young man outside Apologized and said we were welcome in his church anytime.
Private preschool is a blessing, mothers day out is God sent, and Sunday school is a lesson we all need. We were so blessed to have this beautiful Church Family in our lives while my son was away. I know only God's hands were responsible for placing this wonderful congregation in our lives. Not a better place to guide my grandkids in their beginnings of school.
This church is beautiful and the people who are members here are even more beautiful! They care so much for everyone. They even show this unconditional love to the neighbors that live in the 5 or 6 blocks that surround the church itself. They deliver food and gifts to each house on those blocks and also leave invitations to different events that the church sponsors. This Methodist Church is an amazing place to worship and meet new people who sincerely have your best interests at heart always. If you're a Methodist or just looking for a new church, I would definitely recommend visiting Aldersgate Methodist Church at Sayles Blvd and South 17th St.
