| A message from Shelly Johns, women's/senior adult associate |
As the Women’s Ministry and Senior Adult Associate, my goal is to encourage, equip and support leaders in these areas to effectively reach, disciple and multiply healthy (spiritual, mental, physical and emotional) Christian leaders in their churches.
It is my privilege to work within these two groups of leaders, as both are important and influential groups in the life of every church. For more information on senior adult ministry, click here.
The 2008 Senior Living Celebrations are slated for Monday, April 21, Tuesday, April 22, and Thursday, April 24. Click here for details and registration information.
If you are seeking more information on women’s ministry, continue to peruse this page regarding upcoming ministry events, training opportunities, resources and more. Here’s to your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health!
