The SENIOR ADULT Ministries of First Baptist Lake Wales are varied throughout the year.
PrimeTimers describes the attributes of our senior adults; in the prime of life and experiencing good times together. Fellowship meetings, which include lunch and entertainment, are held on the last Tuesday of each month at 11:00 AM in the church fellowship hall (no fellowships in June or July). The $6.00 fee per person covers the cost of the meal and entertainment. Trips to a variety of destinations are held throughout the year.
PrimeTimers are on the go…with God!
Goldenheirs is the title selected for our senior adult choir. Membership requirements include reaching age 55 (or beyond) and loving to praise our Lord in song. Beginning in October, practice is held on Wednesday mornings at 11:00AM in the choir suite, followed by a bring-your-own-lunch fellowship at noon. Goldenheirs often lead in worship. The year culminates with a Spring Tour, in which the group travels for several days, ministering through song in churches, personal care homes, and other facilities in a selected area.

At Home ministry's aim is to provide service to those who are confined to their homes through personal visits, telephone calls, and correspondence. A staff of volunteers deliver Church literature, such as magazines and daily devotionals, as well as video or audiocassettes of First Baptist Church services. This ministry also functions as a liaison between the members visited and the Pastoral staff, allowing needs to be ascertained and appropriate actions taken to meet such needs.
The Senior Adult Ministry division of First Baptist Church is comprised of several Bible Study classes, known as Life Connection Groups, meeting the needs of their membership. Each class plans social activities, from dinners to cruises, throughout the year and ministers to each other in many ways.
Our Life Connection Groups meet at 9:00 am, Sunday mornings.
