Classic Adult Fellowship (55+)

Classic Adult Fellowship (CAF) of White’s Chapel is a group that definitely agrees with Lincoln! Anyone can grow old, but our mantra is to continue to experience new things, as well as celebrate our history and common bonds through fellowship. CAF is a great group to belong to if you are in your fifties or older, love the Lord, and enjoy having fun in group settings! You do not need to be a member of White’s Chapel to join us; all are welcome and encouraged to be a part of a great network of friends. From veterans to retired teachers and beyond, we can all find a place to belong through Christ’s love. If living life to the fullest is on your to-do list, we’ll save a seat for you!
"And in the end its not the years in your life that count; It's the life in your years."

- Abraham Lincoln

  • CAF luncheons are a wonderful place to meet new people, catch up with friends, have a great meal, and enjoy great entertainment or special speakers. On the last Friday of the month, you can find us in Evans Hall at White’s Chapel. We are blessed with the best chefs and kitchen staff ever! We have themed luncheons that include dishes like pot roast, Mexican food, Italian spreads, salads, soups, and even a chili-cookoff. Of course, after your meal, be sure to save room for dessert as we have our very own pastry chef, Joey Pecararo that will create something fabulous! It’s a good thing that we only have luncheons once a month with all the yummy food! Not only are the meals wonderful, but you will be very entertained! From country and western and oldies themed bands to soloists, demonstrations, and even fashion shows, you are sure to enjoy yourself! We’ve had everything from an FBI agent, to Kraig Parker - famous Elvis Tribute Artist! One thing is for sure, you won’t leave hungry or bored! Above all, we love to visit with one another - sharing life’s special moments, friendships, and God’s love. Donations are accepted and appreciated for luncheons with check-in at 10:30 a.m. and starting at 11. Check the CAF seasonal newsletters for specific themes, menus, and dates.
