Older Adult Ministry Program
Primetimer’s (55+)

”Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, Oh God, til I declare your power to the next generation”…Psalm 71:18     “The glory of the young is their strength, but the beauty of the aged is their gray hair. “  Pro. 20:29

We believe that older adults are unique individuals with gifts and graces to empower the local church and to serve the community.
Our Older Adult Ministry program responds to the spiritual needs and interests of members who are 55 years of age or older.  We offer opportunities for worship, learning, fellowship, faith sharing and service that help older adults relate to God, continue to grow in their faith and be actively involved in the life of the church.
