Welcome to the Progressive and Senior Adult ministry of Travis Avenue Baptist Church. You will find a joyful mixture of active adults aged 60 and above who are busy serving the Lord and enjoying fellowship in a variety of ways. While we have a large Progressive and Senior Adult group, there is always room for more. Some may think that older adulthood is a time to sit in the rocking chair and do nothing. They would be surprised to see what’s going on with the seasoned adults of Travis Avenue Baptist Church. The Bible often points to older adulthood as a source of wisdom. Our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents have purchased a heritage with their faithful lives and examples through the years. They have received this heritage from the Lord and stand ready to pass along that heritage to the generations to follow. Psalm 71:18 is our theme, “Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come.” Our adults are active and energetic, serving in a multitude of ways. Travis Avenue Progressive and Senior Adults are growing and serving through such ways as the following. |
