Mission-Based
A Care Ministry for those living with dementia
Christ-Centered
Volunteer-Driven
”Alzheimer’s Disease is the Silver Tsunami of the 21st Century.” (National Institute of Health). “Silver Tsunami” is a reference to the “wave” of aging adults known as Baby Boomers (born between 1946-1964), and the increasing number of boomers facing dementia.
Our Vision Statement:
We envision a community where caregivers and those being cared for feel seen, supported, and sustained, finding regular opportunities for rest and rejuvenation. Through our ministry, individuals with memory loss will experience moments of joy, connection, and dignity, enriching their lives and reflecting God's unwavering love.
Faith Friends is based on a “social model of ministry care crafted by Respite For All. It is a weekly gathering to serve as a social time for those dealing with dementia or forms of memory loss, and a time of respite for their caretakers. no medical staff is required because no medical care is provided. No medications are given during the four-hour Respite Day.
TIME: Thursdays 10am - 2pm Beginning in February 2026
Faith Friends has a modest fee of $50/day per participant. But we also anticipate that through gifts, grants and other resources, no one will be turned away due to an inability to pay. If you feel this price might be an issue for you, please indicate it to us on the friend’s application.
Faith Friends is open to people of all backgrounds and faiths. You do not need to be a member of our church here to participate.
