The agreement between the Office of Church Growth, part of the General Assembly Mission Council, and the Presbyterian Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (PAHSA) solidifies an existing contract, said the Rev. Philip Lotspeich, coordinator of church growth and transformation.
The agreement, initially a recommendation from the Older Adult Task Force report adopted by the 217th GA, calls for the Office of Church Growth to share related work of the GAMC with PAHSA, monitor GA overtures related to older adults and distribute PAHSA resources at meetings.
PAHSA will advocate for older adults within governing bodies, provide models for older adult ministry to presbyteries and congregations and report on the status and needs of its members.
