55+ & SENIORS

 
 

At Central, we value people of all ages including 55+, Active Seniors and Shut-Ins.

We recognize unique needs and opportunities available to those in later life stages. So, we aim to provide for the long-term discipleship and care to those in these age groups who participate in the life of Central. We desire seniors to be meaningfully involved in the service and mission of our community as we follow Jesus together.

There are several opportunities for discipleship and care for anyone in these stages of life (scroll to read more below).

Pastor of Seniors Ministry

 
 

Request a Visit for you or a loved one – Would you like to talk with a pastor for some encouragement and prayer? Do you know an older adult who might benefit from a pastoral visit? Let us know of your need by filling out the interest form.  

Grandparents at Prayer – Has God blessed you with grandkids? Have you ever wondered how to encourage and help your grandkids to follow Jesus? Grandparents at Prayer is a monthly gathering that aims to equip and encourage grandparents in their high calling.  

Online Worship Connection - If you or a loved one can’t get out to attend a worship service, you don’t have to miss it. We have online worship every Sunday.  

After Service Coffee and Refreshments – This is a great time to connect with old friends and meet new ones.  

Groups – One way to go deeper with others is to gather regularly in smaller groups. We have Seniors groups and multi-generational groups.  

55+ Conversations (Quarterly) – We gather to talk about topics and issues relevant to those in the 50-70ish age group. Topics include Preparing to Finish Well; Caring for Aging Parents; Relating to an unbelieving adult child or family member; Finding purpose in later life and others.  

White Cross – Do you want to meet other seniors and help hospitals in Africa? Seniors gather to cut strips and roll bandages for hospitals. This is a drop in gathering.    

Seniors Ministry Team – Do you have a heart for older adults? Has God gifted you in compassion, visiting and help? Do you like talking on the phone? With a large seniors community, there are plenty of needs and opportunities to serve. If you are interested in any way, please connect through our interest form.

Prayer Week 2025
Jan 12
Prayer Week 2025

Each January, we dedicate a week to intentionally clearing our schedules—both as a church and in our households—to focus on prayer. Through nightly gatherings, we come together to share our hearts with Jesus and listen for what He wants to say to us.

We invite you to join in three meaningful ways:

  • Experiment with new rhythms: Explore spiritual practices to make new room for God’s presence and power as you step into the new year.

  • Clear your calendar for Prayer Week: Plan to fully engage in nightly gatherings and prayer events (January 13-17) with our church community.

  • Share what you’re hearing: Listen for what Jesus is speaking to you and to our church, and share these insights with our leadership throughout the month.

For more information including a schedule for the week, please CLICK HERE.
