The role of the church in supporting the elderly is to provide spiritual guidance, emotional support, and practical assistance to help meet their physical and emotional needs. This can include visiting them, praying for them, providing companionship, and helping with tasks such as transportation, shopping, and meals. In 1 Timothy 5:3-4, it says, “Take care of any widow who has no one else to care for her. But if she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God.”
