The purpose of the Senior Adult Ministry is to provide a ministry to adults aged 55 and above so that they may grow spiritually, serve faithfully, encourage one another through fellowship, and experience the life-changing reality of Jesus Christ.
The SAMs ministry aims to provide seniors opportunities for spiritual enrichment and growth, enjoyable trip venues, support for age-related needs, and regular fellowship opportunities. We do this trough programs such as day and overnight trips throughout the year, dinners, mid-week Bible studies, and a Senior Adults Bible Fellowship.
