Older Adult Ministries
The Older Adult Ministry is relatively new in being formalized, but has a long history at our church. Focused on both members of our church and individuals within our community, this is a ministry of and for individuals 50 years and older, addressing their Spirituality, Enrichment, Nutrition and Fitness, Intergenerational, Outreach, Recreation, and Service interests and needs (S.E.N.I.O.R.S.).
Older Adult Ministries is coordinated by Associate Pastor Kathy Kirkpatrick
Join other Older Adults from Christ Church and the community in going on once a month, off-site day trips that provide Christian fellowship, enrichment, and recreation. Pre-registration is usually required. These events will be publicized in the Connection newsletter and online at this website.
Older Adults are invited to our ‘day apart’ experience at the church, a monthly (first Wednesday of the month!) mid-day time set aside for Christ Church members and the community that provides opportunities for worship/spiritual development; lunch; and enrichment or educational programs. Information about upcoming events will be publicized in the Connection and online at this website. Those wishing to eat lunch with the group will need to pre-register.
Retreats
Periodically retreats focused for the interest and needs of Older Adults will be offered through the Older Adult Ministries at Christ Church. Information about upcoming events will be publicized in the Connection and online at this website.
Many of the Sunday School classes at Christ Church have members that are older. The Jubilee Sunday School Class focuses specifically on the spiritual needs and interests of this group in the context of Scripturally driven studies. Other classes, such as the Weavers, have more intergenerational groups, with members in their 40’s through 70’s.
The internet allows you to find information and get in touch with people more quickly than ever before. Christ Church tries to make it easier for you by providing online links to useful information and the ability to send a greeting to friends in the hospital online. Click here for our resources.
