Adult Enrichment
The Adult Enrichment Ministry desires senior adults to come to, and
grow in, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Each program
and activity has that priority.
The Adult Enrichment Ministries is for those who are age 60
plus years of age. Ministry opportunities arise for adults, singles,
married adults, and more mature adults who have retired from
the hurry and activity of their vocational life, and are
looking to find their places to serve the Lord.
We encourage “Adults to move forward and nurture
their lives with Christ.” The different stages of adult
life experiences and challenges include marriage, raising children,
changing vocations, adjusting to the loss of a spouse, empty
nest, and more. This ministry nurtures and validates the advancement
of each life with Jesus Christ, recognizing the skills and resources
each person possesses as a gift from and to God. Houston's First needs many
volunteers to help with the various activities and programs.
Contact the Adult Enrichment Ministries office for opportunities
which include educational seminars, fellowships, spiritual maturing
venues, extracurricular activities including trips, and more – all
aimed at experiencing the joy in the Lord.
