Who Benefits from Membership?

CCOA membership is ideal for anyone in any of the following categories

• Older Christians
• Those preparing for retirement
• Christians working in the caring professions
• People who care for older relatives or friends
• Relatives of those with Alzheimer’s or other forms of age related dementia
• Anyone who would like to gain a better understanding of older people and the issues that affect them

As a member of CCOA you will...

•  receive an interesting and informative magazine four times each year free of charge
• be entitled to claim 10% discount on all CCOA publications
• be entitled to a discount on conferences and events
• have the opportunity to join special interest groups
• be offered a link to a local or regional group wherever possible
• be able to discover the wealth of excellent writers and speakers among our members
• be able to contribute your own insight and experince if you wish
• be entitled to attend the AGM and vote.

The wider Church also benefits because …

• Each additional member gives CCOA a stronger voice
• We constantly learn from our members
• You will be helping us fulfil the aims set out on our Welcome Page
• Local churches are more likely to discover the richness of experience, spirituality and gifts acquired by older Christians and the continuing contribution they can make to the life and mission of their churches.

In some churches considerable resources are spent on children, youth and young families, while little or nothing is done to understand and respond to the needs of older Christians. We would like to change that and each additional member makes that more possible. 

All members receive a regular magazine and are entitled to vote in the CCOA Annual General Meeting. Additionally you will be put in touch with a local fellowship group if one exists in your area.
