Welcome to the building update site for Beaverton Christian Church's Boomers and Beyond. We are building on to our current ministry for senior adults, starting with expanding on just who falls into that "senior" category. Many people currently in their 60's and even in their 70's no longer fit the traditional understanding of what a "senior adult" is, and that's okay. Effective ministry should never stereotype anyone, whether that person be a teenager or an older adult. That is why one of the first changes we've made is to our ministry designation, now described as a "ministry to adults age 55+."
Our overall plan and approach to ministry is to inspect and firm up our existing fellowship programs for our seniors, while also looking for new ways to reach and engage those "seniors who aren't quite ready to be seniors," those people age 55 and up, retired or planning for it, who want to be as active in ministry as they are in life. Think of it as an "Extreme Ministry Makeover," of sorts, where the people benefiting from the ministry are also the ones who build it to reach their generation, involve their generation and impact all following generations, with God getting all the credit.
Sounds like a great plan to me.
