Senior Adult Ministry

Senior Adult Ministry - Keep In Touch (KIT) Ministries

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained.” (Philippians 3: 14-16)

The Senior Adult Ministry will focus on three ways to “keep in touch” (KIT):

To keep in touch with God through a daily, personal walk with Christ

To keep in touch with one another through fellowship and friendships within the body of Christ, the church

To keep in touch with others that need to know Christ
