Upcoming First Friday Lunch & Learns!

Date: Friday, September 5, 2025
Speakers: Rev. Rebecca Irwin-Diehl, PhD, & Jennifer Sanborn, American Baptist Home Mission Societies’ Center for Continuous Learning
Topic: Continuous Learning in Midlife and Older Adulthood


Description: Every season of life brings unique transitions, personal needs, and theological questions. While older adults compose a majority of regular church attendees, how often do we as leaders of the church intentionally consider what it looks like to keep learning and growing in faith as we age? Join the staff of ABHMS’ Center for Continuous Learning to consider our future selves and how the hopes, dreams, fears, and needs of midlife and older adulthood can shape the work of the church in our changing world.
