The future ain't what it used to be. With these numbers in mind, it's clear that our church needs to examine not only how we are ministering to, with and for this fastest growing segment of our population, but how we are intentionally working to break down the hurtful and unproductive age divisions that are already beginning to characterize our congergations.
Churches are probably the only intergenerational institutions open seven days a week.
In addition, the over 65s are growing more than twice as fast as the rest of the population.
