Senior Adult Ministry

Senior Adult Ministry or "SAM" is for all senior adults, 55 and over, in our church and community. The mission of SAM is to show love to our Father and His Son, Jesus, through interaction with one another in love and kindness; to share our faith, experiences, resources, as well as laughter and joy with all we meet in our church, community, and neighborhood.
