South Main Baptist Church

Senior Adults

Listening for God’s calling never stops—it continues throughout our lives. At South Main, there’s a place for you to connect, explore, serve, and offer your experience and wisdom within South Main’s senior adult fellowship. Besides Sunday School Communities, Midweek Bible Study, and South Main At Home groups, we enjoy fellowship gatherings on the second, fourth, and fifth Mondays of each month. There is also a fall retreat each year, as well as social gatherings at holiday times.

South Main values the kind of wisdom and grace that accrue as we move through the many stages of life, and there are a wide array of appealing opportunities for those who wish to apply their gifts to ongoing programs, missions, and ministries of the church. To learn more, join us on a Sunday or Wednesday, or contact Greg Funderburk or Lonnie Campbell for more information.
