The purpose of the organization was for fellowship and friendship among seniors. Rather than stay at home and watch TV, seniors would learn arts and crafts and participate in other social and recreational activities. Mrs. Biscoe served faithfully until she was called home to be with the Lord. Rev. Davis was later chosen to be the next President and she too was a tireless worker. Under Rev. Davis’ administration, seniors learned quilting, doll making, pillow crafting and much, much more. When Rev. Davis became ill and could no longer serve, the Association experienced a period of inactivity.

In September 1987, Mrs. Irene Brooks and Mrs. Edith Cottom reorganized the Association with the permission of Pastor Gibson. The first meeting was held September 28, 1987 in the Gibson Plaza Social Room. Later meetings were held in the Founder’s Education Building. Mrs. Cottom was elected President and Mrs. Lila Poindexter, Vice-President. Meetings were held on Mondays from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM and the Association grew tremendously under Mrs. Cottom’s direction. When Mrs. Cottom became ill, Mrs. Pointdexter assumed the leadership role and later became President when the Lord called Mrs. Cottom home. In 1982, Mrs. Irene Brooks was elected President and continues to serve today. Under our current Pastor, Raymond C. Bell, the Senior Citizen Association has now become the Senior Citizen Ministry.

Over the years the Senior Citizens have contributed to the Church Building Fund and the Table and Piano Projects. Monetary presentations are made to the church during Revival and the church anniversary. The group’s fellowship includes shopping trips, dinner theater, movies, luncheons and museum visiting the sick. At the present, there are seventeen members. Meetings are held every 2nd and 4th Tuesday except holidays and when there is inclement weather during the winter months.
