Legacy Adults 55+

Knowing that many adults continue to be employed after 55 years of age, several retire at 65 years of age, and others continue in their employment into their later years; therefore Evergreen Legacy Adult Ministry is making the effort to meet the ministry needs for those who are employed, unemployed, or retired.

What Are We About?

The core values of the Legacy Adult Ministry focus on responding to the diverse needs of older adults while fostering a supportive, intentional, Christian environment. This includes creating opportunities that address their unique life issues and challenges, while continuing to minister "through" them, yet with a more deliberate focus on ministering "to" them as well. Evangelism and spiritual growth remain central priorities, ensuring that Legacy adults are actively engaged in both personal faith development and outreach efforts. A strong emphasis is placed on ministry service, encouraging a missional mindset, and being active in serving others. Additionally, the ministry promotes intergenerational connections, encouraging relationships across age groups and ensuring that the 55+ demographic is represented and visible in all aspects of church life and ministry. Evergreen Legacy Adults continue to pursue, "Knowing God, Sharing Life, and Changing the World".
