SENIOR MINISTRY
The Senior Ministry is an outreach ministry of the Christian Education Department. As mature Christians, we are called to keep the faith. Our ministry is full of active and vibrant seniors who are keeping the faith, building a legacy of faith to pass on, and caring deeply for those around them who are finishing the race. With day trips, fitness classes, homebound visitations, and active participation in the whole life of the church, a senior can find a place to nurture and be nurtured.
Health Ministry is an outreach ministry of the Christian Education Department. It provides the church with a foundation for integrating health awareness messages, healthy living prevention tips, and powerful engagement sessions/activities – all based on the Word of God through health education, prevention, and awareness. The purpose is to help equip members with Christ-centered education to ensure they understand that health is as an integral part of serving God. As the church family is united in the ministry of the body as well as the spirit, we are then prepared to dramatically improve the health outlook, attitudes, and well-being of our congregation and the communities we serve.
