Led by Pastor Tracey Harlan, our Older Adults Ministry is a vibrant and welcoming community for men and women age 65 and better who believe life is meant to be lived actively and purposefully. Whether you’re looking to connect through planned outings or spontaneous social gatherings, there’s something for everyone. From museum visits, art shows, and concerts to lunch meetups and community events, we gather regularly to grow in friendship and faith—never putting our wisdom or experience on a shelf.
For more information about upcoming opportunities and how to get involved, email Pastor Tracey today.
