Aging & Dementia Live Webinar
May is Older Adult Month; Older Adult Week is May 3-9, 2026 and Older Adult Sunday is May 3!
Dementia describes a group of symptoms affecting memory. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common causes of dementia. There are estimated to be more than 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s. By the year 2050 projections are that those suffering from Alzheimer’s will be 13 million people (statistics from the Alzheimer’s Association). According to the Pew Research using PCUSA 2023-2024 statistics, we are an aging denomination with 45 percent of our membership age 65 and older. As pastors and elders and a host of caregivers, we need to understand what is happening within our congregations and families.

Arch has also served on numerous presbytery committees and was once moderator of the Presbytery. His talents and skills include work as a parliamentarian, a professional mediator, and a professional genealogist.
