Seniors Ministry

Today over 68 million Americans are over the age of 50. Two-thirds of all persons 65 or older who have ever lived are alive today, and in the next seven years, senior adults will comprise over 17% of the nation’s population. In addition, today’s seniors embrace an active, creative lifestyle and a volunteerism mindset, making them a valuable resource in the mission of the church.

Many senior adults call FAC home, many of whom actively serve in our various ministries including our food pantry, children’s ministry, shut-in visitation, music, and prayer. In addition to opportunities for service, our Seniors Ministry offers a full and balanced program for seniors including worship, outreach, fellowship, and recreation.
