50 Plus Ministry

As part of the "Longevity Revolution," CPC's 50+ single and married adults are living longer and healthier, unlike previous generations. The Sequoia Ministry offers ways to be fully engaged during our extra years, to make the most of the opportunity to "finish well for the glory of God."

 

Sequoia's 2023-2024 Theme: "Rediscovering the Biblical Role of Older Adults in the Multi-generational Family."

 

Much is said throughout the Bible about the parents primary role in transmitting faith to their children and the overarching role of grandparents. Opposing this, our culture in recent times has come up with a "new social contract" of non-interference and autonomy, disconnecting generational ties between children, parents, and grandparents. Recent research shows that the latest generation of church-going parents is generally unaware of the biblical vision. Intergenerational solidarity that used to promote the transmission of faith is crumbling with the societal rise of age discrimination, all adding up to a perfect storm. These days three-quarters of families who have raised their children in the church will find that one or more of their offspring is no longer practicing their faith soon after leaving home. Sequoia's purpose this season is to understand what reasonable responses may be available and regain hope we will see all our children and grandchildren in heaven.
