Empowering and Supporting Adults with Memory Loss to Grow Their Community
About Connect Ministry
Where Love Never Forgets
Connect Ministry is a welcoming community for adults experiencing Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other forms of memory loss. Through engaging activities, meaningful friendships, and the support of caring volunteers, we create opportunities for participants to experience joy, connection, and a sense of belonging.
From music and movement to creative projects and intergenerational activities, every gathering is an opportunity to make memories, share laughter, and enjoy life together. Connect also provides caregivers with valuable time for themselves, knowing their loved ones are spending time in a supportive and compassionate environment.
What We Do
Provide a Community for Memory Loss Participants
Through various programs and activities, we aim to provide a safe and inclusive environment where participants can engage with others facing similar challenges, share their experiences, and build connections.
Provide a Respite for Caregivers
Our program allows caregivers to take a break from their responsibilities and have some time for themselves, knowing that their loved ones are being cared for in a safe and supportive environment.
Provide a Place to Volunteer
Connect is a great place for individuals to volunteer their time and show love and compassion towards those with memory loss. Through our volunteer programs, we aim to create a positive and engaging environment for all of our participants.
Arts & Crafts
Creativity brings people together! Through painting, crafting, and hands-on projects, our participants enjoy opportunities to express themselves, explore their creativity, and share meaningful moments with friends and volunteers.
Songs & Music
Music has a special way of bringing back memories and creating joy. From sing-alongs and live performances to familiar melodies, our music activities encourage participation, connection, and plenty of smiles.
Movement
Staying active can be fun at any age! Our movement activities include gentle exercises, interactive games, and group activities designed to encourage mobility, coordination, and social interaction in a supportive environment.
Community Service Projects
Giving back is a wonderful way to stay connected to the community. Through meaningful service projects, our participants have opportunities to help others, share their talents, and experience the joy of making a difference.

Intergenerational Activities
Some of the most meaningful connections happen across generations. Through activities with local preschoolers and students, our participants share laughter, stories, and experiences that bring joy to everyone involved.
Volunteers
Our volunteers are at the heart of Connect! From helping with activities to sharing music, stories, and meaningful conversations, our volunteers generously give their time, talents, and friendship. Their kindness and dedication help create a welcoming community where every participant feels valued, supported, and connected.
