Introducing the Abundant Aging Ministry Network

A monthly online gathering for those engaged in congregational ministry with older adults.

We are living in a remarkable time—thanks to cultural and scientific advances, many of us have inherited an extra 30 years of life. This gift brings both new challenges and profound opportunities for ministry.

The Abundant Aging Ministry Network is designed to support and inspire those who are walking alongside aging adults in faith communities. Each month, we’ll gather online to:

  • Share successes and stories from the field
  • Explore recent research and emerging insights
  • Bring questions, curiosity and creativity to the conversation
  • Encourage one another in the deeply rewarding work of abundant aging ministry

Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just beginning this journey, this network is a space to connect, learn and grow together.

  • Virtual Meetings every third Thursday at 12 noon EST
    Open to all engaged in aging-related congregational ministry

Come curious. Leave inspired.

Join us as we reimagine what it means to age abundantly—in community, in faith and in purpose.

Stay connected in the conversation by joining our Facebook group. (link group)

Join us on Thursday, January 15 @ noon when we welcome Bonnie Burnam (The Ohio Coalition For Cognitive Health) and Salli Bollin (The Alzheimer’s Association) to talk about resources to support pastoral care and congregational inclusion with those living with dementia.

COST – FREE!!
