Mission & Impact Statements Mission Aldersgate Renewal Ministries is a Christian organization incorporated in 1978 to equip the local church to minister to the world in the power of the Holy Spirit. In the book of Acts, Jesus said they would have the power to fulfill the Great Commission when the Holy Spirit came upon them. He said, "You will be my witnesses" locally, nationally, and globally. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, the Church in Acts 2, demonstrated the Gospel to the world in word and in deed. The Church walked in power, unity, generosity, sacrificial care, relational nurture, and in joy. God empowered their witness day by day, adding to their number, those who were being saved. That is our vision: To see every church reach their fullest Acts 2 potential where God has uniquely placed them. How does that happen? By the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. That is why our mission is to equip the local church to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit. Within United Methodism, there are more than 30,000 local churches just within the United States. Imagine the transformational impact on the world if every local church in every place were carrying on the ministry of Jesus as modeled in the Scriptures. We believe that is possible. Background Founded in 1977, Aldersgate Renewal Ministries has a long history of impacting the local church and has developed a constituency who serve both on our Board of Directors and Advisory Council. This group of women and men offer counsel, guidance, wisdom, and physical labor as gifted resource people for all of our ministries. ARM is blessed with a gifted staff of 5 full-time employees, 2 part-time employees, 3 in-office volunteers and numerous off-site event volunteers. Financially, ARM is sustained by donors who have caught the vision of equipping the local church to minister to the world in the power of the Holy Spirit. ARM Family Partners and ARM Church Partners commit to regularly and consistently praying, participating, promoting, and offering financial provision to resource the life-changing ministries of ARM. ARM has a headquarter facility in Goodlettsville, TN that can host transformational equipping events of up to 180 people. In close proximity to hotels and restaurants, the Aldersgate Renewal Center provides a quality facility conducive to learning, worship, and fellowship. Along with producing written and digital resources, ARM has a core curriculum of Bible studies for each of the local church learning experiences. 2
Impact Currently ARM serves more than 1,200 children, youth, young adults, and adults through our national Aldersgatefamily conference on Spirit-filled living. In July 2015 it was held in Lexington, KY and will return to Lexington, KY in July 2016. Of the attendees, approximately 70% are adults, 5% are young adults, 15% are youth, and 10% are children. 15% of the attendees are clergy. We have also equipped more than 90 clergy and lay persons at each session of our Methodist School for Supernatural Ministry. We now have seven separate sessions of the 3-day school with accompanying DVD and printed curriculum. The seventh session was held in February 2015. The first session is being offered live at United Theological Seminary in November 2015. This event is also being offered regionally via DVD. Approximately 60% of the students are lay persons and 40% are clergy. As a follow-up to the MSSM, February 25-27, 2016 we will host our first ARM Intensive, Living in the Supernatural. We also minister to 40-50 clergy each year in our alternating Clergy Retreat or Minister and Spouse Retreat. Both are held in the week following Easter to offer refreshing and pampering to those in ministry who are often worn out just following that busy church season. The Clergy Re-Do conference will be held March 29-31, 2016. The Minister and Spouse Retreat will be held April 18-21, 2017. Both are held at our Aldersgate Renewal Center in Goodlettsville TN at greatly reduced rates that include hotel lodging, all your meals and great programming. Approximately 40 local churches in the United States host our team-led seminars with roughly an average of 45 in attendance at each experience. The most frequently hosted experience is the Lay Witness Mission, followed by the Life in the Spirit Seminar. Aldersgate Renewal Ministries has 11 regional fellowships around the United States who serve local constituency who have a passion to see their home churches minister in the power of the Holy Spirit. These fellowships function under the guidelines of ARM, but operate independently. Lastly, ARM has ministered internationally in Slovakia, Great Britain, Brazil, Liberia, Estonia, Tanzania, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago and in Middle Eastern countries. Our first international regional fellowship has formed in England as an overflow of sustained ministry in that region. ARM remains steadfast in their commitment to see every local church equipped to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit and looks to the future with great expectation of seeing a world transformed by churches empowered and equipped to fulfill the Great Commission in word and in deed. Needs Our most pressing financial needs relate to staffing, technology, and facilities. As we focus on equipping the local church to minister to the world in the power of the Holy Spirit, our staffing needs to reflect that priority. We are in need of a full-time and a part-time support staff position ($50,000). Our headquarter facility has been our home for almost 15 years, serving approximately 400 guests annually. Our parking lot, used daily, needs significant care ($39,000). We are in need of new and updated software for our registration system ($11,000).

Board Chair Statement Over my years of involvement with Aldersgate Renewal Ministry (ARM), I have been blessed to witness the incredible work of this ministry. The mission of ARM is to empower the local church to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit for the transformation of the world. The transformation of the world is obviously a very lofty and almost unattainable goal. ARM believes this goal is possible when individuals experience the love and grace of Jesus Christ, made known through the presence of the Holy Spirit. We believe that when individuals are changed and transformed, the ripple effects are felt across the world. The ministry of ARM uses a multitude of venues to accomplish its primary goal of empowering the local church. Weekend renewal events are offered at host churches, not only around the country but globally as well. ARM offers 9 renewal events for a church to choose from, with topics ranging from prayer, worship, discipleship, spirit-filled living, and evangelism. Each event is led by a trained team of volunteers that are committed to the mission of ARM. These weekend renewal events take place across the globe. Another unique event hosted by ARM is the national conference on Spirit-filled living, Aldersgate. This event is held annually at varying locations. It is a weekend packed event filled with meaningful sessions for the entire family, from nursery to adults. Spirit filled worship and teaching play an integral part in everything that takes place during the weekend, whether that be in the children s ministry area, youth ministry area or the adult sessions. This is one event that I personally look forward to every year. I have grown more and have found tremendous encouragement from attending these conference events. These events and others, such as the Methodist School for Supernatural Ministry which contains focused teachings and experiences on the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, contribute to changing people s lives. Aldersgate Renewal Ministries is a powerful ministry within the Kingdom of God, that strives to see people changed and transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. CEO Statement From the Associate Executive Director:, Rev. Ric Holladay: Can you imagine the surprise and excitement of being asked to join the staff of a ministry in which you have participated for several years? That s what happened to me a few weeks ago. Aldersgate Renewal Ministries encourages people to live in the love of God and in the power of the Holy Spirit, and equips them to go into their churches and communities to invite others to do the same. This incredible ministry has been dramatically touching lives for more than 30 years, and my life has been changed as I have participated in the events offered by this remarkable ministry. It is a humble privilege to serve this ministry as their Associate Executive Director. 4

Sessions focus on our Methodist heritage, hearing God, healing, evangelism, faith catalyst and exploring how God is currently at work in the United States and across the globe. Sessions are instructional, experiential, and highly practical, designed for students to both receive ministry and to minister effectively to others. A follow-up event to this school is the ARM Intensive with the first one held in February 2016 on "Living in the Supernatural". Budget 11600 Population Served Adults,, CEO Comments ARM's calling is to equip the local church to minister to the world in the power of the Holy Spirit. Within United Methodism, there are more than 33,000 local churches just within the United States - more than 40,000 globally. Our challenge is both in how to reach every one of them and how to develop the resources to equip them. Currently, ARM has some connection with 750 local churches within the United States. The majority of those churches have hosted at least one of our local church renewal events. But, we are not currently staffed in such a way to healthfully maintain, nurture and deepen those relationships so that we have an ongoing partnership in the renewal of the local church. We are in the initial stages of creating a long-term plan to readjust our staffing to meet those needs. That, of course, takes both financial and staffing resources. ARM has a 38 year history of faithfulness to God's call, a legacy of faithful leadership, and extraordinary potential to partner with the local church to see churches become the full expression of Christ to the world around them literally turning the world upside down for Christ as the early church did as described in Acts 2 and Acts 17. 6
