Navigating midlife with purpose and wisdom


Mission & Activities
Supporting Families Through the Mid-Stage of Life with Faith and Community
The Life in the Middle Life Group is intended for adults, married or single, who have finished raising young children and have not yet retired. The age range is flexible, roughly mid-forties to mid-sixties (overlapping in age with both Homebuilders and Maturity Matters). We meet regularly on Sunday mornings to share praises and prayer requests, study the Bible inductively, book by book, and encourage each other in our walk with the Lord. The focus of our spiritual applications are geared toward the phase of life in which many big decisions are past (such as career direction, marriage, and raising toddlers) and now the focus is on finishing your career well, passing along wisdom to the next generation, and influencing younger adults through discipleship. Our social times are normally scheduled for evenings or weekends to accommodate work schedules.
Bible Study
Participate in our Sunday Bible study tailored to the unique challenges of mid-life. We offer insights and practical applications to support your spiritual journey.
Christian Relationships
Build connections with other families navigating mid-life. Our group provides a network for support, fellowship, and service, with events and occasional child care to enrich your family life.
