There have been a number of elderly problems such as care giving burdens, lack of welfare budgets, and minishing societal ability of care giving roles. A number of researches and administrative measures have been performed by social parties and churches aimed to resolve elderly social problems in this aging society, but there has not been successful social works activated by churches. In this study, 650 religious workers such as pastors and missionaries among 12 churches in Korea have been interviewed in 2008, and their perceptions on influential factors related to the pastors for the elderly welfare services were analyzed. As a result, the system of pastors, the more active needs their families have, the more involvements their related social institutions have with them, the fewer welfare beneficiaries they have, and the higher their perception with proper budget allocations for the elderly welfare works, the more influences their families’ associations have on the success of the church social works for the elderly. As for whether they perform elderly welfare services or not, there are significant influential factors such that education of the pastor is meaningfully important, they have saved budget for the services, and they need to be in cooperative with community welfare institutions.
