Director of Education & Small Groups
Retirement Reformation – Leadership Team
Volunteer Role

As Director of Pastoral Care and Senior Ministries Consultant, you will be a vital part of the core leadership at Retirement Reformation and serve as the primary point of contact and champion for Church Relations. You will share your passion for challenging older adults for Kingdom thinking by developing relationships with and encouraging pastors and ministers to activate their seniors and engage with Retirement Reformation. 

You will collaborate within the team to move organizational goals forward by identifying, pursuing, cultivating, and maintaining connections with pastors, ministers, and church leaders.  These partnerships will better help seniors discover their call in their retirement years and identify and activate God's meaning and purpose for them in this season of life.

Have you ever dreamed of combining your experience in ministry, passion for the local church, and heart for seniors in such a way that we see the world transformed? Retirement Reformation understands that there are 40 million Christians who have been largely sidelined from creating Kingdom impact because they have bought into the world's lies about retirement. The church has largely failed these seniors by providing few to no opportunities for significant ministry. When seniors discover their call in their retirement years, they identify and activate God's meaning and purpose for them in this season of life. We challenge and equip older adults to embrace Kingdom thinking and live out the preferred future God has for them.

    • Seasoned. You are either in or near your own retirement years.

    • Kingdom-minded. You will do things no one else is doing to reach people no one else is reaching.
