Mission Statement
The Senior Adult Ministry of Southeast Christian Church exists for the purpose of reaching out, building up and sending out seniors by ministering to the needs of all Senior Adults within our church, those unchurched, as well as the spiritually lost in our community.

America's youthful face is changing! Consider these statistics:

Today nearly 67 million Americans are over the age of fifty.

By 2040; the last baby boomers reach retirement age, 25 percent of the American population will be over sixty-five.

Life expectancy recently climbed to seventy-five years of age.

Two-thirds of all persons sixty-five or older who have ever lived are alive today! American seniors now outnumber the entire population of Canada.

In 1960, those 60 years old and over numbered 250 million (8.2 percent of the total population), and by 1980, the number had increased to 376 million (8.5 percent of the total). In the year 2000 those 60 and over numbered 600 million (almost 10% of the total) Projections indicate that those 60 and over will number 950 million by 2020 (12.5 percent of the total).

Senior adults with your experiences and expertise, offer this congregation incredible resources. We encourage you to be totally involved in the local church ministry.

Some of the most special people you will find anywhere. I’m referring to the 55 Senior Adults here at Southeast Christian Church.

The Senior Adult Ministry at Southeast Christian Church is an active one, with Senior Adults from age 55 and up who are involved each week in many ministries and service throughout the church

We wish to provide a variety of programs and ministry opportunities for seniors, all designed with the purpose of meeting the various needs for today’s seniors, as well as reaching them for Christ.

Here at Southeast we see our Seniors as active and motivated to make a difference for God in our church, community and throughout the world.

Primetimers
We have a monthly program that meets on the 3rd Friday of each month at 6:30 p.m. This one-hour is a time filled with a variety of guests, music and worship, fun, laughter and information for today’s seniors.

Ministry Opportunities
A variety of ministry opportunities are available for seniors here at Southeast. Our seniors lead the way when it comes to volunteering for programs, events, mentoring and more. They are the “heartbeat” of the ministry. Our seniors visit in the hospital; they visit those of all ages who cannot physically attend church and Adult Bible Classes. They write notes to those who need encouragement. They help provide meals for those in need. They pray in our various Prayer ministry opportunities. They serve as greeters, serve of Communion, and receive offering.

Trips
There are short trips planned throughout the calendar year that are safe, exciting, enjoyable and fun. Sign up and let’s go!

Sunday Adult Bible Classes
Each Sunday there are Bible Classes that our senior adults attend, (Classes at 9:30 a.m., Encouragers (a class for women) and at 10:45 a.m. Second Mile, Discovery, Old Testament. Come and join us – there is a class for you! There is a Seniors Women’s Bible Study on Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. at the church, currently studying “Becoming Women of Grace” led by Jane Osborn.

Missions
There are plenty of mission opportunities in our state, the US and internationally. Our seniors can get involved in these missions in all kinds of ways. From short-term mission trips, serving in SECOR ,to serving at the City Mission and many more. Check at the “MOVE” counter in the foyer.

I hope you can see that Southeast Christian Church needs the experience and wisdom of mature adults. My hope is to sound an alarm, arousing our awareness of the great opportunity for mature adult ministry.

Upcoming Events

Especially for the Ladies: The ”Covered By His Love” Bible Study group is designed especially for Primetimer women. We meet EVERY WEDNESDAY MORNING at 10:30 and enjoy a Bible Study and rich fellowship together. The study selected for this fall is “Becoming a Woman of Excellence” by Cynthia Heald.
