Our Impact
In 2030, the Tennessee-Western Kentucky Conference of The United Methodist Church will be home to 600,000+ adults over the age of 65. This is an increase of 24 percent from today’s population.
Like no other time in history, this emerging population trend of midlife and mature adults is providing local churches with a unique opportunity to reach out and minister to and through older adults.
Through your financial support, the Golden Cross Foundation is expanding older adult ministry throughout the conference, creating opportunities for spiritual fellowship.
In addition to supporting the spiritual life of older adults in the conference, the Golden Cross Foundation maintains a focus on four main areas of concern: nutrition, transportation, health care, and housing.
