Senior ministry at St. Matthew’s.
At St. Matthew’s, we believe community and spiritual growth are lifelong gifts. Our Senior Ministry provides opportunities for older adults to stay connected, encouraged, and engaged—both with one another and with God’s Word. Whether you’re new to the church or a longtime member, you’ll find welcoming spaces to gather, grow, and share this season of life in faith-filled fellowship.
Senior Fellowship
Christian friendship, encouragement, and fun twice a month.
OWLS
A broader network of faith-filled connection and service for WELS seniors.
Senior Fellowship
Devotions, encouragement, and fun for seniors.
St. Matthew’s Senior Fellowship is a welcoming group for seniors and retirees from our congregation and the community. It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy Christian friendship, encouragement, and fun in a relaxed setting. The group meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month in the church Gathering Space. Each gathering begins with a devotion, followed by cards, games, conversation, and occasional potlucks or special events.
Everyone is welcome — no registration is needed. If you have questions or would like to learn more, contact Dan Feuerstahler.
OWLS
Organization of WELS Lutheran Seniors
St. Matthew’s is part of the OWLS (Organization of WELS Lutheran Seniors), a ministry that connects older adults from across the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod for fellowship, learning, and service.
Through OWLS, seniors can connect with other WELS members at local and regional gatherings, grow in faith through devotions, Bible study, and inspiring speakers, and serve others by supporting missions and ministry projects. Whether you're hoping to make new friends, stay active in ministry, or deepen your faith, OWLS offers joyful and meaningful ways to stay engaged.
