About Us

Serving our Senior Adults through programs, events, and provision of resources.

The Seniors Ministry regularly gathers for fellowship and teaching as they strive to engage and connect senior adults in our community.

Purpose: To continue to engage our senior adults in the covenant community, as they age, by ministering the gospel of Jesus Christ both to them and with them, and by facilitating connections with church and community resources.

Programs

Service

The Barnabas Ministry team meets to pray for members of the congregation who have asked for prayer and need encouragement. Team members then write notes to remind them of God’s precious promises that make persevering worth the effort.

Encouragers

The Encouragers group is comprised of single adults ages 50 and older, who meet regularly for fellowship, prayer, and service opportunities.

Couples In Action

Our Couples in Action (CIA) group is comprised of married couples ages 50 and older, who meet regularly for fellowship, prayer, and service opportunities.

Get Involved. 

Our seniors are integrally involved in a variety of ministries at First Presbyterian including, but not limited to:  visitation, Care Teams, assisting at the Foster Care Closet, knitting prayer groups, circle meetings, and local and international missions. We aspire to assist seniors in discerning their spiritual gifts, cultivating those gifts, and using those gifts to build up the Body of Christ.  If you need assistance in discerning your giftedness, please contact Rev. Bryan Bult.
