Are we ready for the opportunities and challenges facing the aging church? Now is the time for the church to offer ministry to its increasing number of seniors and to benefit from ministry they can offer. A noted theologian and an expert in the fields of social work and gerontology show that seniors aren't the problem. They are the solution.
