This book offers opportunities, ideas, and guidance for future generations of ministry, while also describing how aging adults in ministry can support each other and their faith communities.

In changing times, many churches—and their related agencies and ministries—are shrinking. Often a large portion of those who remain are older adults. Celebrating the Graying Church suggests that this is an opportunity for a new and different kind of ministry—a ministry to, with, and from older adults who may have wisdom to pass on to the legacy of the future generations. This book offers opportunities, ideas, and guidance for this new vision and practice of ministry, while also describing how aging adults in ministry can support each other and their faith communities.

Richard P. Olson retired as distinguished professor of pastoral theology at Central Baptist Theological Seminary in 2018. He served as minister for nearly forty years and is author of a number of books, including Ministry with Families in Flux (co-authored with Joe Leonard), selected by the Academy of Parish Clergy as one of the ten best books of 2000.
