OUR HISTORY, VISION, & MISSION
Equipping and Encouraging Seniors to Actively Pursue and Fulfill God's Calling
Hal Habecker
Founder, Finishing Well Ministries
"As Christians enter their retirement and senior years, Finishing Well Ministries believes it is vital for each Christian to discover God's plan and purposes for them to fulfill during the next phase of their lives. Throughout these crucial and significant years, we desire to keep excelling in our growth in Christ. Through His strength, we want to continue to serve Him and impact our world for His purposes. Finishing Well Ministries exists to guide, encourage, and mobilize seniors of all ages to celebrate the Biblical truth that God wants to use His aging followers to make a difference for Him and strengthen His work for future generations. Praise God that He has a plan and purpose for each of us in the next phase of our lives!"
OUR HISTORY
For over 10 years, Finishing Well Ministries has had the skills and passions of an older and godly generation. What began as a person-to-person encouragement ministry has evolved into an organization that equips thousands of people through books, a video series, online self-study courses, small group trainings in local churches, and podcasts.
Finishing Well Ministries is a difference maker across the country and around the world. With the support of individuals, groups, churches, and networks with many sister organizations, more older believers than ever are being encouraged to catch a vision for God’s purposes in their lives. Our goal is to help maximize the impact of an older generation of men and women as disciples in the local church and for the kingdom of God.
OUR VISION
Our mission is to inspire and nurture aging Christians to understand and embrace God’s calling on their lives in their later years and equip them to pursue and fulfill that calling actively.
In addition to providing resources for individuals, training leaders in churches and communities across the country and around the world is a strategic initiative of the ongoing work of FWM. Suppose we are going to effect change in how the church community encourages aging people. In that case, we need to see both lay leaders and pastors capture God’s vision for older believers and put it to the test in their churches and communities.

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
-
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
-
We believe in the deity and humanity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and glory.
-
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
-
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
-
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the barrenness of damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class differences.
