Interested in enhancing your ability to serve older adults in your congregation? POAMN partners with Columbia Theological Seminary’s Center for Lifelong Learning to offer a certificate program in older adult ministry for clergy and lay leaders.

Earn the certificate by completing the four courses. Or take just a course whose topic interests you.

Starting September 25 is Spiritual Formation in Older Adults, taught by Mary Anona Stoops. In this six-week course, you will:

  • Learn key spiritual and ethical issues that elders typically face.
  • Learn practices that can enrich spiritual formation, including that of spiritual autobiography.
  • Explore and apply strategies for spiritual growth in elders and in aging congregations.

Participants meet via Zoom on Wednesdays, September 25 to October 30, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern. The course fee is $265. Interested individuals who need financial assistance should contact POAMN at poamnetwork@gmail.com.
