An examination of linkages between local churches & the aging social service network, based on data from a 1984/85 mail survey of churches in a southern, primarily rural North Carolina county; completed questionnaires were returned by 79 pastors. Factor & multiple linear regression analyses reveal: (1) the churches offered a wide variety of services, mainly informally, to older adults; (2) socially conservative churches provided fewer services than socially liberal ones; & (3) degree of fundamentalism was not an important predictor of failure to provide nonspiritual services. The implications for the feasibility & design of projects involving collaboration between churches & agencies are discussed.
