Retired And Empty Nesters
Thank you for your interest in the REP’S at First Assembly of God.
Psalm 92: 14-15, illustrates our desire: “They will still bear fruit in
old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “The Lord is
upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.” REP’S
ministry is planned with your needs in mind. We invite you to join us
for a great time of fellowship in the Lord!
PURPOSE:
The R.E.P.’S Fellowship is a Body and Outreach ministry of First
Assembly of God, designed to meet the spiritual, social and fellowship
needs of Retired, Empty-nesters and Pre-retired (R.E.P.) singles and
couples.
GOVERNANCE:
The R.E.P.'S Fellowship is a vital ministry of the church and is
directed by an Elder of the church who reports to the Lead Pastor.
Fellowship activities, events, and overall administration of the
ministry are consistent with the philosophy, mission and goals of First
Assembly.
MEETING:
The R.E.P.’s Fellowship meets at various times and places during the
month. Many of these are identified on the side panel under Fellowship
Opportunities. Once a month on Sunday afternoons, unless otherwise
announced, the REP’s meet for lunch after church. Meetings will always
include Fun, Food and Fellowship, in a variety of settings and
locations. R.E.P.s, young & old, members & non-members, are
