RECENT CONFERENCES
POAMN was delighted to bring our 2024 conference, May 29-30, to Southern California. Ministry leaders, chaplains, and lay leaders gathered for fresh perspectives on older adult ministry. They left inspired with new ideas to implement and tools to deepen their spiritual connection to serving older adults.
Clergy and lay leaders got inspiration from POAMN’s 2023 conference, September 14 and 15 in Michigan. They discovered the adventures and hobbies that await older adults and explored opportunities to try new things, including ways to continue service to God and local and global communities.
