The Church Started Here – Senior Adult Edition (Ages 60+) 12 Sessions | 127,000+ Words of Content | Downloadable PDF You have spent a lifetime in the church. You have seen movements come and go. You have watched the church change, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. But have you ever studied the church that Jesus actually built? The Church Started Here takes senior adults on a journey through the book of Acts — the real, raw, unfiltered story of how the church began. This is not a simplified overview. It is a rich, substantive Bible study that draws on decades of life experience and connects the early church to the broader story of Christianity across the centuries. Why This Study Is Perfect for Senior Adults: Rich historical context. Each session includes detailed historical and cultural background that brings the first-century world to life. Church history connections. See how the early church connects to the Reformation, the missionary movement, the persecuted church, and the global church today. Warm, respectful tone. Written specifically for seniors who have a lifetime of wisdom and experience to bring to the discussion. Substantive content. Each session includes 1,500-4,500 words of teaching, commentary, and application. Legacy-focused application. Each session addresses how seniors can pass the baton of faith to the next generation.
