Senior Citizens

At Christchurch, we value the role that Senior Citizens play in the life and activities of our fellowship and the wider community. We welcome all seniors to our activities at both sites, irrespective of church background. A real sense of community and coming together has developed over the years.

Our key groups are listed on this page – Harvesters (afternoon tea and a speaker); Reach Out (Chair-based exercise) or iPicture this (art appreciation group).

Our vision is:

  • To express God’s love through friendship, care and conversation
  • To provide a welcoming meeting place in which seniors connect, make friends and thrive
  • To offer an open, safe and unpressurised environment in which senior citizens might choose to explore faith and develop a personal relationship with Jesus
  • To offer, when requested, a listening ear and confidential prayer support

Safeguarding of Vulnerable Adults

All Senior Citizens’ activities and volunteers operate within the guidelines of our Safeguarding Policy relating to Vulnerable Adults. This includes safe recruitment and training.
