FUMC Allen is a community of Jesus Followers who strive to grow the kingdom of God.

Senior Ministries (ages 55 and up)
FUMC Allen has a large and active community of adults aged 55 and up. These adults represent a large age group that is in several different phases of life. We offer a variety of activities that adults 55 and up (and include younger adults!) find rewarding. We hope you will find friends and common interests in one or more of the following groups. We are always open to ideas and new activities. Senior Adult Ministry at FUMC Allen is open to all those 55+ who desire to share time together through study, fellowship, and social events. From Sunday morning small groups to a variety of social groups, we have many ways to connect the senior adults in our community. For more information about any of our senior adult programs, contact Rev Maxie Moore.
