The Senior Adult Ministry program is a vital part of our church, with new and expanding opportunities for involvement.
This growing ministry provides Christ-centered activities addressing the spiritual, social and educational needs of men and women in the “second half of life.” This rapidly growing segment of our church family includes retirees, grandparents, people with adult children, and widows/widowers, all who desire to be productive servants of Christ.
The Senior Adult Ministry program includes classes, special trips, monthly luncheons and programs, studies, and volunteer opportunities.
Classes
The Friendship Class
A large class of adults ages 55+ that meets every Sunday in Aldersgate Hall for coffee and fellowship.

Music

Social

Members of this group enjoy monthly luncheons held at 11:15 am in Wesley Hall on the first Wednesday of each month. Prior to the luncheon and program, games are enjoyed by those who wish to participate at 9:30 am. Programs are presented with outside speakers who are spiritual, civic, education and cultural leaders from within and outside of our community and church. In addition to the monthly luncheons, Prime Timers regularly offer day trips at minimal costs. Occasionally, overnight trips are planned.
