Through Adult Ministries, the Church of the Nazarene is actively responding to the large and growing group of maturing adults within the churches and communities we serve. The overarching purpose of our focus is on the salvation and spiritual nurture, growth, and continued service of this group within the context of each local church. Mature adults are vitally important to our church. They represent an enormous wealth of resources vital to the ongoing health and growth of our local churches.

The Church of the Nazarene recognizes the tremendous contribution mature adults in many local congregations have already made during their lifetime. Further, Adult Ministries emphasizes the significant ministry potential that still resides within this group as we minister to, through, and with mature adults throughout our denomination.

At West Side, we call this group our JOY (Just Older Youth) Group. The JOY group is very active and meets the second Wednesday of every month in the Fellowship Hall at 10:00 am. You are welcome to join us for lunch. Bring a covered dish and you're in!
