SENIOR ADULTS
God has loved and utilized senior adults for His glory since the days of Abraham. And so it is today, as people 70+ are among the most vital and active members of thousands of churches across America, including Lawndale.
Check out the various ministries to and through senior adults listed below. Then find a place to plug in!
Pastoral Care - The most important aspect of Senior Adult Ministry involves pastoral care for seniors (and their families), experiencing various issues, related to health and wellness in body, mind and spirit. Our senior adult pastor responds prayerfully to those individuals and their families through hospital visits, calls and personal counseling, as needed.
