Adult Ministries Ages 55 & Up

With monthly activities including luncheon meetings, overnight excursions, and day trips throughout our area, Hayes Barton’s Adult Ministries Ages 55 & Up group is all about warm fellowship and learning for our senior adult members. Our monthly meetings are a time to dine together, fellowship, and enjoy a special guest speaker or entertainer. Everyone here at Hayes Barton Baptist Church is proud to have one of the most active, vibrant, and welcoming senior adult fellowship communities in the area.

We offer exciting opportunities to gather, give, serve and grow. All activities are open to adults ages 55 & up. Some are geared towards ages 55-70 and others are more broadly planned. Find these that interest you or meet your needs and join us!
