Senior Adults

Senior Adult Ministry at First Lutheran assures people that the church cares about them and wants them to be a continued part of the church's mission. We engage the gifts and abilities of seniors in our worship life, our community groups, and our service teams. For those who can no longer gather with the whole church community, this ministry also provides personal visits with Holy Communion, as well as outreach to seniors who live in special communities in our area.

Our Care Teams serve seniors by helping them remain in their home longer by doing for them what they used to do for themselves.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness through all generations. Psalm 100:5
