“We believe that Senior Adults have a wealth of experience to share that can help others come to know Jesus and learn to live in the power of His sufficiency.  In addition to having much to share, seniors also have a personal desire to continue to grow in God’s Grace.  We want to help that to happen in the lives of many.”
