Keep reading if you like an introduction to the conference.

Does your church see seniors as primarily recipients of care or as bearers of wisdom and mission? Do you provide opportunities for spiritual growth for seniors? Do you involve seniors in meaningful service? Is your church’s seniors’ ministry primarily concerned with organizing social and recreational events for seniors?

One comprehensive model for church-based seniors’ ministries uses the acronym S.E.N.I.O.R.S. and states:

Intentional ministry by, with, and for older adults should include specific ministry in each of these areas: 

• Spirituality

• Enrichment

• Nutrition

• Intergeneration

• Outreach

• Recreation

• Service

• (Dr. Richard H. Gentzler, Jr.)

Does that challenge you? How is that being done? If you want to explore more, then come join the ElderCare Network in our next free Zooom webinar. We will share devotional thoughts, invite your input, hear a few actual models of comprehensive seniors’ ministries from different churches, and have ample time for discussions with each other.
