Seasoned Saints Ministry History

Under the guidance of Bishop Charles Mellette and Pastor Patti Mellette, the Seasoned Saints Ministry was formed in March 2002, here at Christian Provision Ministries.

The Seasoned Saints Ministry is a ministry committed to the spiritual, physical and emotional well being of our seniors, 50 years of age and older. This ministry is commissioned to reverence and serve the elderly as stated in Leviticus 19:32 You shall give due honor and respect to the elderly, in the fear of God. I am Jehovah.

The Seasoned Saints Ministry meets on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 9:30am. These meetings are held as rap sessions, where the seniors encourage each other with their prayers and testimonies. They share their knowledge and wisdom regarding their walk with Christ and discuss ideas of how they can contribute to the vision of the church.

The word seasoned means to make suitable for use, as by aging. The Seasoned Saints Ministry is an active ministry making use of the gift of wisdom and knowledge that has been bestowed upon our seniors. For we know that knowledge is not automatically passed on from generation to generation, but it is shared and taught by those that are seasoned.

The Seasoned Saints Ministry is a ministry seeking to do greater things for the kingdom of God, in these latter years.
