Re-Named to Aldersgate
Methodist Church in 1997
Firstly, although the primary purpose of the Pioneer Work was to carry out evangelical work among the residents of Clementi New Town, we never had the opportunity to be physically settled in Clementi.
Secondly, the name “Clementi” was incongruous with our location along Dover Road, and was particularly a challenge for first-time worshippers and taxi drivers trying to locate our Church.
Thirdly, our church building bears the name “Aldersgate Chapel”, causing further confusion to anyone looking for “Clementi Methodist Church”. At a special congregational meeting on April 27, 1997, we were re-named “Aldersgate Methodist Church”, an eponymous reference to John Wesley’s encounter with God’s redeeming love during a house meeting at Aldersgate Street in London in 1738.
On July 1, 1997, the change of name was made official.
With the new name,
a new logo was created.
The logo comprises the letters A and C in the form of a stylized fish and a cross. The fish was an important symbol of Christian presence and witness in the early Church. It also reminds us of Jesus’ call to His disciples to become “fishers of men”.
