Ministries A United Methodist committee that focuses on senior adults is creating a Comprehensive Plan for Older Adult Ministries, which will emphasize spiritual development. Faith Needs of Older Adults Older adults have faith needs that may be overlooked by active, growing congregations. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation announces the expansion of Faith in Action , a national program that supports interfaith community volunteer caregiving. The United Methodist Board of Global Ministries is creating a series of mission-related experiences aimed specifically at older adults.
Some churches fail to recognize the potential for ministry that single adults offer.
