It is the mission of Aldersgate to enhance the academic, social and spiritual development of the youth of the Briarfield community in order for them to become independent and productive young men and women of the world. Programs offered are intended to help children develop appropriate social skills, aid with academics, maximize leadership potential, teach compassion, build self-confidence, deter children from potential gang affiliation, explore talent, build character and promote spiritual growth.
