Our Mission

Our Senior Adults ministry is to be that ministry open to all who come through the doors of Council Road Church. But concentrating on how we can better serve the senior adults members. To be the ministry is the face and advocate for the senior adults. Displaying integrity, understanding, and leadership while being the bridge to the elders of the church. Being the ministry where senior adults can come to with no reservations to obtain guidance, comfort, love, compassion and clarification on the bible. Knowing they will get sound advice or directing them to other staff members who can meet their needs.
