Whether you like it or not, millennials are the new core of your church One of the most significant shifts of the last few years is that Millennials have embraced church attendance faster than any other demographic, surpassing their attendance levels back in 2019. Millennial attendance is surging, especially among non-white Millennials. According to the same Barna survey, 30% of white Millennials report attending church regularly post-COVID, up from 26% pre-pandemic. But non-white Millennials have returned with even greater zeal. Fully 40% of non-White Millennials say they are attending church post-COVID, up from 31% pre-pandemic. Some of this is natural as Boomers get older and factors like mobility and health become more significant, but the writing has been on the wall with Boomers for years. We just behaved like it wasn’t. The two areas most impacted by this trend (other than attendance) are serving and giving. Boomers have historically carried congregations both in terms of finances and volunteering. While you don’t want to give up on Boomers completely — and you’ll want to honor them for their contribution — it’s critical to understand that the oldest Millennial turns 43 in 2024. It’s high time to treat them (as well as Gen X and older Gen Z) as the new core of the church. Let's face it: For reasons outlined above, churches that focus on helping people become whole-hearted followers of Jesus will have to worry less about how the next generation gives and serves than churches that make giving and serving the goal. But two more conversations need to happen. The first circles around the generational wealth transfer that’s about to take place. As Boomers age and many start passing away, their Gen X and Millennial children will receive the most significant wealth transfer in human history. Stewardship should become a part of that conversation with Boomers. Otherwise, the church will likely be ignored both by the giver and the recipient. Second, church leaders should create a strategy around engaging Millennials as critical donors for the future of the mission and vision. That means developing a strategy to help them see that Jesus is a priority, as they’re used to giving to various social causes that have captured their attention. #churchmarketing #churchconsulting #churchmetrics #sozogroup #marketing #nonprofitmarketing #churchgrowth #churchgrowthtools

Baby Boomers VS Gen X VS Gen Y VS Gen Z. Who’s the real MVP? 🏆 As a Millennial (Gen Y) myself, I know our generation gets a lot of criticism, but let’s be real – we all think our generation rocks! 😜😻💁♀️ Instead of focusing on what’s wrong with other generations, we need to decode, understand and celebrate our individual quirks and traits 🫶🏻 When we can harness our unique differences and use these as strengths, we are dynamite together! 🙌 This is from my keynote ‘DECODING THE NEXT GENERATIONS’ 🎤

Interesting read on #genz written by a Gen Z-er. "Dealing with Gen Z must be exhausting for the avocado toast-eating, reckless-spending millennials and all of those old, out-of-touch baby boomers who need to hurry up and retire. (As ever, the Gen Xers are too cool or burned out to care.) ... The largest, most educated, most racially and ethnically diverse generation in human history, Gen Z’s ranks are 2 billion strong worldwide, and they represent about a quarter of the U.S. population. There is no doubt that they have an enormous impact on economies at every level, and they are starting to enter the real estate industry in force." https://lnkd.in/eBqcgVAa?
