In Young at Heart, seniors can continue to use their gifts and skills where they feel most comfortable.
We have monthly activities and additional Young at Heart ministry opportunities where seniors can meet new friends, serve, volunteer, and participate in activities of their interest. Everything the Young at Heart does has God at the center as its goal.
