Saved by Grace through Faith

Senior Adults Ministries

Senior adults compose a large population in North American Christianity, yet they often get "missed" in the ministries provided by the church. The Grace Seventh-day Adventist® Church works hard to take care of our senior adults, especially those who are home-bound or are in a residential-care facility. Our pastor, elders, deacons, and deaconesses make regular in-home visitations to our senior adults, providing them with spiritual support and ensuring that they are receiving proper care. Every quarter in-home communion services are provided for those who are home-bound and unable to attend such services at the church.

We also live-stream our Sabbath services in order to make them more accessible to our senior adults. If you would like to get connected or need help finding the right technology to enable you to get connected reach out to us by clicking here.

The Nursing Center at Little Creek

Located in the heart of West Knoxville, atop a hill among mature pine trees, dogwoods, maples and magnolias, you'll find Little Creek, one of East Tennessee's most reputable nursing facilities. Originally founded in 1940, by Seventh-day Adventists®, Leland and Alice Straw and Roger and Genevieve Goodge, Little Creek began as a self-supporting school, dairy farm, and medical institution. Their Christian beliefs and principles are still an integral part of Little Creek today. Seventh-day Adventists® believe the key to wellness lies in a life of balance and temperance. Nature creates a wealth of good things that lead to vibrant health. A vegetarian diet, pure water, fresh air and sunlight—promote clean, healthy lives. This is the kind of environment that Little Creek has to offer senior adults in need of residential care.
