Legacy Ministry
Legacy Ministry provides opportunities for adults age 55 and up to experience life’s many transitions together. We do this through regular fellowship opportunities by caring for one another, learning together, serving others, and discipling others for Christ.
Fellowship
Relationships are built and maintained through numerous fellowships. These fellowships provide opportunities to spend time together thereby reducing loneliness and providing companionship. Fellowships include monthly luncheons, gatherings for coffee, dinner, desserts, trips away from the campus, and conferences. Fellowships help adults enjoy living life together. For more information or for help in signing up, please contact the church office at 770-476-3788 or email legacy@duluthbaptist.org

CARE
Care teams provide needed care and support to adults as they work through life’s difficulties and transitions. Some of these teams are formed from other adults within the church while others may be Christian-based support groups that meet outside the church. These care teams support adults through all phases of life and can provide both short-term and long-term care, support encouragement, and resources for working through life’s difficult times.
Home Care
The Home Care Ministry team visits, supports, and cares for the needs of those church members who are home-bound.

LEARN
Learning opportunities are provided to allow adults to experience and learn new things. These will encompass a wide range of topics meant to not only be fun and educational, but also great refreshers for the mind, body, and soul.
MINISTER
Adults need opportunities to serve others both in and outside the church. By providing frequent service and missions opportunities, adults will be able to use their abundant skills, abilities, gifts, and talents to share the love of Christ and address the needs of others. By serving others, they will become more aware of the needs in the church and the community.
Food Pantry
Volunteers are always needed to help pick up, shelve, pack, and distribute food in the First Baptist Food Pantry.

DISCIPLE
Through Bible study, adults will be able to go deeper in exploring and understanding God’s Word. Additionally, there will be opportunities for adults to teach and mentor others, building disciples not only among 55+ adults, but also among younger adults, youth, children as well as grandchildren.
