Conference Overview

Adult Ministry is designed for adults to experience transforming growth, through the love of the Father in the power of the Holy Spirit, through authentic worship celebrations, powerful keynote speakers and dynamic workshop sessions. Bring your church staff, Bible study group, and Sunday school class. Lay leaders will walk away feeling empowered with new vision and training to grow your church. We want you to have a passion and vision beyond the walls of your own church to see every church proclaim and demonstrate the Gospel in the character and power of Jesus Christ. Get ready to be blessed by some of the best of the best in the United Methodist Church.

The Gate Youth Conference is the youth portion of the Aldersgate Conference for rising 7th graders through graduated seniors in high school. Our mission is to impart the Father's true identity to today's youth and equip them with the tools to walk out their identity and destiny in the power of the Holy Spirit.

ARM is committed to the safety and security of all minors (under age 18) attending the Gate Youth Conference at the Aldersgate Conference, and all our workers are screened. Once registered, parents of the Gate Youth attendees will receive a letter and forms to read, fill out, and bring to the Conference or email to the ARM Office.

We welcome senior pastors, associate pastors, deacons, church staff members, youth pastors, missionaries, all kinds of clergy to the Aldersgate Conference! If you come feeling empty we believe that the Holy Spirit will fill you up at the Aldersgate Conference. If you come wounded we believe the Holy Spirit wants to heal you at the conference. If you come already on fire for God we believe you will receive even more--more fire, more revelation, more power, and more impartation. You will hear great speakers in general sessions and workshop sessions. You may worship freely, without having any responsibilities during the worship times. You will have opportunities to receive prayer.  This is an opportunity to take your ministry to a whole new level!

CEU Certificates: $20 payable when you register online or on the registration form.

Aldersgate Renewal Ministries offers up to approximately 2.0 Continuing Education Units for the Aldersgate Conference, if one attends everything. These sessions can be a valuable part of your ongoing plan for continuing education with your District Superintendent and Board of Ordained Ministry. You might check for available continuing education funds to help you come to the Aldersgate Conference from your Board of Ordained Ministry and your local church. Aldersgate Renewal Ministries has some limited scholarship funds and might help after other sources of funds have been used. 

Once you have paid for the CEU Certificate with your registration, a form will be emailed to you prior to the conference to bring along and then turn in on Saturday evening or Sunday morning of the conference.

Pastors who host one of our local church renewal events at their church will receive a voucher for a free family registration to the Aldersgate Conference.
