If You Passed the Baton… Take it Back! (9 Hours including lunch) Churches across America are struggling with how to engage their “seniors.” Many churches have chosen to marginalize them instead of empowering them. The greatest asset most churches have within their church family is going untapped. Target: Pastor, church and ministry leaders, and seniors.
As you think about the importance of this training. please consider a few key findings from our research and others:
- Currently in many churches across the nation, we have 6.5% more teenagers in our congregations than seniors. Yet in our culture we have 65% more seniors than teenagers.
- As individuals become seniors, often their purpose shifts from success to significance and many of them are not finding the opportunity for significance in the local church.
- Combine that last point the fact, 10,000 Baby Boomers are reathing the age of 65 each and every day. An incredible potential army in any church.
- While it may not seem that important, many churches operate off the financial support of seniors, who represent the last generation who are able to spell the word "Tithe."
- Finally, if you want to reach, disciple and deploy teenagers/young adults, "Baby Boomers" are most likely to reach the younger generations than any other age group at this time.
