Senior Adult Ministries

"By 2010 – 1 out of 4 people in our churches will be over the age of 65."

We are in the midst of one of the most earthshaking demographic movements in the history of America. Every 8 seconds, 50 people turn 50 years of age. Every day, 5,000 people turn 65. Our culture is facing the challenges and opportunities of an aging population.

So how about you? You've lived your dreams, had a successful career, and made a difference in this world. So, what's next?

Keep the fire burning by living the second half of your life with plans and passion as you did the first half. Come join us as we have a special emphasis on being a blessing and encouragement to the leaders of our church and community, and as we build our lives into the coming generation.
