Mid-Life and Beyond

For Adults age 50 and over, the Mid-Life & Beyond Ministry at First Baptist Church is the place for you!

Join us on the third Thursday of each month for "Coffee, Tea, and Thee", a time of fellowship, breakfast and special program. There is no "Coffee, Tea & Thee" during the months of June, July, August and December.

We meet the needs of transportation, enrichment, and outreach with ministry teams.

Travel is a small part of our Mid-Life and Beyond ministry. Short-term trips, extended tours and conferences are included.

Our ministry is about PEOPLE, not age. For more information, please call Gary Blanchard.?(352) 787-1005

I encourage you to connect with Men's & Women's Life Enrichment. Through these ministries, you can build a bridge to true relationships in our Church. You will find?more information on our website on the left hand column under ministries.

Mid-Life and Beyond

They are everywhere, and some of the most special people you will find anywhere. I am referring to the over 1,200 Mid-Life & Beyond Adults here at First Leesburg.

The Mid-Life & Beyond Ministry at FBC is an active one where Adults from age 50 and up are involved each week in ministry and service throughout the church.

There are a variety of programs and ministry opportunities at First Baptist. All designed with the purpose of meeting the various needs for today's Mid-Life & Beyond adults, as well as reaching them for Christ.

Here at First Leesburg we see ourselves as active and motivated to make difference for God in our church, community and throughout the world.
