Older Adult Ministries provide opportunities for life enrichment—spiritual, intellectual, social, and artistic—designed intentionally for adults age 65 and over. Recognizing that adults are generally living—and staying healthier—longer than ever before, our mission is not only to foster ministry to and for older adults, but also with and by older adults.
Fellowship Opportunities
Seasoned Adult Fellowship—welcomes both couples and single adults. Most members are retired, but are still young at heart! Meetings provide Christian fellowship with stimulating programs appealing to varied interests, such as current social issues, music, and travel. Meetings are on the first Friday evening of the month, September through May in Fellowship Hall (unless otherwise noted). Potluck supper begins at 6:15 pm, followed by the program at 7:00 pm.
