Registration deadlines for two courses offered by the Center for Lifelong Learning at Columbia Theological Seminary, a POAMN partner, are approaching. The two courses are part of the four that make up a certificate in older adult ministry.
September 22 – October 31, 2025 (Online)
The Process of Aging and Implications for Ministry
Our pastors, parents and other loved ones who shaped us are aging. In this course, you’ll learn how theological reflection with older adults can help them address the challenges of aging through faith seeking meaning.
Registration closes September 8 or when the class has reached its capacity, whichever comes first.
January 20 – February 24, 2026 (Online)
Theological Reflection in Older Adulthood
Ministry among older adults is full of opportunities to engage in theological reflection. Drawing upon Scripture, theological writings, hymns and songs of the church, denominational and other resources, course participants will learn how to facilitate this work as they explore theological doctrines and concepts that frequently concern older adults.
Register before October 19 for a $30 early bird discount. Registration closes January 5 or when the class has reached its capacity, whichever comes first.
