E.A.G.L.E.S.  (55+) Ministry:

Purpose and Vision

First- thanks for checking out our page! Nice to meet you!  


Our purpose is found in our name- the acrostic “E.A.G.L. E.S.” which stands for:

Enthusiastic

And

Grateful

Life-

Experienced

Saints


We believe those who have been on the journey of life longer are one of the most important groups in our church.  We seek to mobilize this age group (and any that would like to come with us) to enjoy encouraging fellowship and vital ministry.  


Our mission and vision are also found in an acrostic- “N.E.S.T.”:

Nurturing one another in fellowship

Edifying one another in the Word of God

Serving the body of Christ and the community

Torch-Bearing to the Next Generation.
