About Our Church and Ministry

UMC Juneau is the official website and online ministry of Aldersgate United Methodist Church, located at 9161 Cinema Drive in Juneau, Alaska.

Aldersgate is a United Methodist congregation serving the Juneau community through worship, youth ministries, food assistance, community meals, and outreach.

Sunday Worship

Every Sunday, 10am

Our multi-cultural, inter-generational, inclusive and welcoming Church meets on a Sunday Morning for a 10am start. Get here a little early for fellowship and coffee!

We share in various styles of music and worship and Pastor Fa’atafa Fulumu’a leads us in reflecting on the Word of God.

We broadcast our worship services live on our Youtube channel and Facebook Page, and on our website at live.umcjuneau.church so all our members can join with us, and we record for later viewing during the week for those unable to attend on Sundays.

Our Tech team works hard to create a space that we are all able to worship together in person and online.
We hope you join us soon!

Adult Study

Every Sunday, 11:15am

Through out the year, David Means, a Lay Leader for Aldersgate, leads various Bible and book studies focusing on what it means to be a Christian in daily life.

The Adult Study group meets at 11:15am in the Aldersgate Fellowship Hall. All are welcome to attend!

Youth Group

Every Tuesday, 5:00pm

Our young people from elementary school to high school age meet on Tuesday for a short lesson, a meal and plenty of fun and games.

We always appreciate additional help and welcome kids to come join in the fun!

Food Pantry

Every Tuesday, 5:30pm - 7:00pm

The Aldersgate Food Pantry is open every Tuesday, serving our neighbors with essentials.

We have an account with SEAFB for supplies but need weekly supplies of bread, eggs and fresh fruit.

Caring Canteen

Every Tuesday, 6:00pm - 7:00pm

A group of churches in the area share responsibility for providing 100 – 120 hot meals weekly on a Tuesday evening for families in need. Aldersgate serves this meal on average once every 6 weeks and often steps up to fill in gaps or assist if food runs out, along with sharing leftovers for people who show up during the week needing food.

This meal is served from Aldersgate after initially being set up from our Parking Lot using the Salvation Army Food Truck. The ministry is funded by a grant administered by Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church.

Brunch at Donnas

Every Thursday, 11:00am

A small group meets at Donna’s restaurant weekly at 11:00 am to share fellowship and enjoy food together.

Prayer Service

Pastor Fa’atafa leads us in a Prayer service with songs and prayers for around 30 minutes each Wednesday.

Join us if you can, or stop where you are and pray for our Church and our World.

Our Music Team meet together to practice songs for the upcoming week or special events. Join us if you’re musical or technicalQ

Monthly Potlucks

Last Sunday of each month, 11:15am

On the last Sunday of each month, after our service, we meet in the fellowship hall for fellowship and amazing food.

Bring a favorite food to share or just bring your appetite. All are welcome!!

Serving Dinner at the Glory Hall

Every 3rd Saturday, 4-7pm

Every month, a team of our members cook and serve dinner at the Glory Hall homeless shelter, here in the Juneau Valley. The Glory Hall is Juneau’s emergency shelter and soup kitchen, providing three meals a day and shelter for those experiencing homelessness or crisis.

Extra volunteers are always needed to assist our youth in cooking. Aldersgates Food Ministry fund is utilize to fund this ministry and support of this fund and our wider Food Ministry is greatly appreciated. We provide dinner for 80-100 people depending on season.

Volunteers usually cook from 4-6 PM and serve from 6-7.
