Senior Adult Ministry
The Senior Adult Ministry at First Baptist flows out of our Senior Adult Sunday school, the foundation of our ministry. We offer an in-depth Bible Study group that meets every Friday beginning at 10:30 a.m. Our ministry provides a wonderful travel program that includes fellowship, adult Bible conferences, celebrations, plus educational and inspirational events. These events also facilitate social outlets for seniors. In April, we have a banquet (Spring Fling) that features a special guest artist. Our seniors attend dramas at Cumberland Theater, Tennessee Performing Arts Center, and concerts at Gaylord Entertainment Center. First Baptist also offers Christian travel to different parts of the world. We have been to Alaska, the Caribbean, Rome, Turkey, Egypt, and Israel. Several senior adults are active in home, state, and international missions. This is a short description of our Senior Adult Ministry. More ministries and upcoming events are listed below:
