Silver Chalice Ministry is a program dedicated to helping congregations support and celebrate older adults (65+). It encourages churches to lift up the wisdom, gifts, and needs of aging members through intentional programming and care. Explore how your ministry can grow by honoring the older adults in your midst.

Resolution GA-2512, supporting Disciples congregations receiving Silver Chalice designations passed nearly unanimously in July 2025. The resolution calls for ministries to seek ways to better engage older adults in our communities, help older adults grow in faith, encourage more intergenerational programs, and offer more resources that lift up ministry with, to, and for older adults.
