Senior Adults

A community for adults 65 and over to discover Jesus and continue maturing as His disciples

About Senior Adult Ministry

As we age, it can become more challenging to connect with others in healthy, Christ-centered ways. We seek to meet this need and encourage relational discipleship for seniors through programs of Bible study, enjoyable get-togethers, and other shared activities. These all take place within a safe and encouraging community of mutual care and support, and there’s always a place for you.

Serve in Ministry

At Grace Church, senior adults have many opportunities to actively invest in the life of our church family.

For Example:

  • Serve Communion
  • Make Coffee
  • Lock Up the Building
  • Make a Meal

Or Maybe:

  • Teach Kids
  • Mentor Others
  • Help a Guest
  • Welcome People

Learning to use your abilities and spiritual gifts for the benefit of others is an important part of growing in your own relationship with Christ. Send us a message if you’re ready to get involved!
