At Countryside United Methodist Church, our senior adults are at the heart of our story — living examples of grace, wisdom, and joyful service. Whether you’ve been part of the church family for decades or are just finding your way here, you’ll discover a safe place to belong and recharge.

We gather for fellowship, learning, and purpose-driven connection through programs, Bible studies, meals, and special events designed to nurture relationships and spiritual growth. Together, we celebrate the joy of community and the call to live out our faith every day.

Gather. Grow. Go.

You’re always welcome — come find encouragement and belonging among friends who walk this journey with you.

Spark Plugs is a 55+ adult fellowship group that meets the 4th Tuesday of the month (March through November) at 6:00 p.m. in Countryside’s Celebration Center for a potluck meal and educational program.

Join in on the fun!
