Agencies
We are a faith-based non-profit organization with roots in the United Methodist Church. Our programs of feeding, clothing, children’s services, emergency assistance, transitional housing, services for persons with HIV/AIDS and support in overcoming addiction and homelessness offer help in crisis today and hope for wholeness tomorrow.
Through these ministries, which are open to all in need, we live the conviction that every human being deserves a sense of self worth and respect, a life with dignity, availability of services, quality of life, and decent, affordable housing.
Services of Christian worship are held each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. and at other times during the week.

Aldersgate Homes, Inc. was established as a ministry of the North Georgia Conference United Methodist Church in 1991. We have been partnering with United Methodist Churches across the North Georgia Conference to provide services to the developmentally disabled in the years since then.
Over the past 16 years, Aldersgate Homes, in partnership with local congregations, and assisted by public and private service providers, has provided developmentally disabled individuals with safe, comfortable, affordable housing. We oversee residents in 3 group homes, 2 apartments, and a condominium. Our facilities are located in 5 of the 12 districts of the conference.
The Andrew College experience is positively life-changing. You'll receive the personal attention that you deserve and feel comfortable being yourself as soon as you step foot on campus. You'll meet interesting people from all walks of life and you'll be challenged to achieve more than you thought possible. You'll grow and learn on campus where professors know you by your first name and take serious interest in your success.
