It is our desire at Trinity mar Thoma Church for senior adults to come to, and grow in, a closer personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Each program and activity has that priority. The Senior Citizen Ministry is for those who are age 60 plus years of age. Ministry opportunities arise for adults, singles, married adults, and more mature adults who have retired from the hurry and activity of their vocational life and are looking to find their place to serve the Lord.
We encourage all adults to move forward and grow in their relationship with Christ. This ministry gives opportunities in fellowship, spiritual maturing, extracurricular activities including trips, and more – all aimed at experiencing the joy in the Lord.
The Mar Thoma Senior Citizens Fellowship has been recognized as an official organization of the Church and has begun its activities with the objectives of assisting in the mental, spiritual, moral and cultural growth, empowerment and physical healing of the senior citizens of the Church, ensuring fellowship, cooperation and comfort to all senior citizens in the Church and society and to keep them in the mainstream of society, equipping them to carry out Christian witness in the family, parish and Church and to participate in worship, church services and proclamation of the Word of God.
Leveraging the talents and experience of senior citizens will be beneficial to the mission of the Church. They are encouraged to make effective use of the life and health that God has given them. Members of the Senior Citizens Fellowship share their experiences and acquired moral values with the new generation by proclaiming the ways in which God has led them.
The Prathinidhi Mandalam of the Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church that met on 13, 14, and 15 September 2022 recognized the Mar Thoma Senior Citizens Fellowship as an official organization of the Church.
