Elderly People

Last Updated on Friday, 07 May 2010 10:58

Britain now has an increasingly elderly congregation as life expectancy increases. Many churches are characterised by having elderly congregations but the truth is that the elderly are one very important group in many church families. They have particular needs.

The Diocese of Derby takes its ministry to the elderly seriously, providing many groups and clubs to which older people can find friendship, support and meaning.

Older people are also hugely important as key post holders in the life and running of churches as key volunteers.

As an all age church – we respect the experience and contribution of many of our elderly members over many years.
