Where Are the Groups for Over 40s?
Churches invest heavily in youth and young adult ministry, but what about everyone else? If you're over 40 and looking for Christian community, spiritual growth, or meaningful relationships with people your own age, options can feel limited, especially if you're single, new to an area, or returning to faith. Tersia's Primetime groups fill that gap, giving you a place to find events, deepen your faith, and meet other Christians in your stage of life.

What Are Primetime Groups?
Life after 40 brings its own transitions: career changes, kids leaving home, new cities, divorce, rediscovering faith, or simply wanting deeper friendships and spiritual community. Many churches focus their energy on youth and young adults, leaving over-40s Christians without a clear pathway. Tersia's Primetime groups are built for you: worship gatherings, prayer groups, Bible studies, socials, and communities designed for Christians who are past the 'young adult' stage but still want genuine connection, spiritual depth, and belonging. And if you're single, Tersia is where you can meet other Christians your age naturally, through real community rather than dating apps.
"Primetime" is Tersia's name for our 35+ community. Whether you're 38 or 72, these groups are designed for Christians who want genuine connection without feeling out of place at events built for 20-somethings.
