Giving to Aldersgate Village

Charity is a powerful virtue — and at Aldersgate Village, we believe it’s one of the most meaningful ways to make a lasting difference.


When you give of yourself and your blessings, you don’t just touch the lives of others — you help strengthen our community, bringing hope, care, and compassion to seniors who need it most. And that is a beautiful legacy.



Aldersgate Village was founded on a mission to provide quality senior services, guided by Christian values — a mission that continues to inspire everything we do today.

Like you, we share the desire to uplift others and to leave the world better because of our presence in it.


Together, there is so much we can accomplish.


When you give to Aldersgate Village, you become a partner in our ministry of care and compassion. You’ll help sustain vital programs and services that directly impact the lives of our residents — and we ensure every gift is used as intended, delivering the greatest benefit to those it’s meant to support.


Let’s amplify the power of giving — and create a brighter future, together.


Live, Work, Contribute – Embrace the Aldersgate Way

It all began with a vision to care for those in need...


In the 1970s, leaders of the Kansas-Nebraska Conference of the United Methodist Church saw a growing need in Topeka — a need for a safe, faith-based community where older adults could live with dignity, security, and compassion.

Inspired by their Christian calling to serve, they listened to the voices of seniors and their families who were searching for a place where care and community could come together. Rather than turn away from that need, they embraced it — and Aldersgate Village was born.


In 1979, Aldersgate Village welcomed its first residents, and from those early days, our mission has only grown stronger.


Though we've expanded our campus and services over the years, we’ve never lost sight of that original vision — to create a loving, nurturing home for seniors, where their spiritual, emotional, and physical needs are honored every day.

Today, more than 40 years later, Aldersgate Village continues to stand as a beacon of care, compassion, and Christian service. Our focus remains on putting people above profit, and we continue to reinvest into our community to enhance the lives of those we serve.


But we can’t do it alone.


Our mission is made possible by generous supporters like you, who share our belief that every senior deserves dignity, respect, and love.


Your gifts — whether financial contributions, donated goods, volunteered time, or shared talents — directly impact the lives of residents here at Aldersgate Village. With your help, we can continue to grow, serve, and transform lives for the better.


Together, we carry forward a legacy of love, care, and faith — and we invite you to be a part of it.
