DeiVision of Seniors

The Seniors' objective is to provide our senior members opportunities and a platform for spiritual growth, fellowship and lifelong learning experiences. To develop relevant programs that will enhance knowledge, increase visibility of seniors, provide an information network, provide support systems, and provide outlets for physical and recreational needs.
Our Senior Council Committee is comprised of a 12-member team providing input regarding the needs of seniors programmatically. The council also coordinates the Thanksgiving and Christmas service and dinners for the seniors. This Council meets every 1st Thursday of the month.
Regular activities include
Monthly Gathering
Every third Tuesday of the month from 10:30am to 12:30pm.
Featuring monthly educational topics/speakers and fellowship.
Senior (BYOB) Bible Study Sessions
Why study the Bible?
The Bible is God's roadmap to Heaven, eternal life. It was written with a purpose - to authenticate the Divinity of Christ, to give hope, to provide examples and warnings, to give knowledge of Eternal Life. It is a life-giving and life-changing Book. Read it for yourself. Study it. Love it. Come Alive!
