The Church's Ministry with Older Adults is a handbook for pastors and churches seeking to better serve people over sixty-five years of age. It is a toolbox of suggestions, illustrations, and program ideas designed for clergy and lay people committed to ministry with America's fastest growing population segment.

As the pastor of a large urban church in which more than half the active members were over sixty-five, Blaine Taylor discovered that these human beings are a remarkable resource. He writes, "I experienced their ministry. I discovered they had strengths few of the rest of us recognized. And they had needs I had never before considered." Based upon thousands of face-to-face visits in homes, hospitals, and nursing homes, The Church's Ministry with Older Adults offers a unique perspective on the tremendous riches offered by people over sixty-five. This book is their story.
