Senior Adults age 55+

Restoration Church believes the Bible is clear that senior adults are not just to be respected because they are “old.” Rather, they have an important place in the life of the local church.
The primary purpose of a senior ministry in church is to nurture the spiritual, social, and physical well-being of older adults, fostering their involvement in the church and community while utilizing their wisdom and experience. This includes providing opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship, outreach, and engaging in meaningful service.
Which includes:

One

Spiritual Growth and Discipleship:
Senior ministries offer Bible studies, prayer groups, and educational opportunities to deepen their faith and understanding of God.

Socialization and Fellowship:
Senior ministries provide a welcoming environment for older adults to connect with each other and build meaningful relationships.

Physical and Emotional Well-being:
Senior ministries offer activities that promote physical health, such as exercise classes, walking groups, and recreational outings.
They provide resources and support for older adults with health needs, such as transportation to medical appointments or home visitation.

Outreach and Service:

They provide opportunities for seniors to use their skills and talents to serve others, such as mentoring younger generations, teaching classes, or providing childcare.
