The Baby Boomer generation, one of America’s largest generations, has shaped our churches for the past 75 years. Today, we discuss how to better reach them as they entire retirement.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
- For the most part, the Boomers brought the low-expectation church into vogue.
- The Boomer generation has remained static numerically because Boomer immigration has basically replaced Boomer deaths.
- We cannot abandon trying to reach the Boomer generation with the gospel.
- Churches shouldn’t treat Boomers like ATM machines, but churches should discuss planned giving with them.
The six additions we discuss are:
- There are still a lot of Boomers.
- There are still 76 million living Boomers
- 10,000 Boomers retire every day.
- Of the Boomer generation, approximately 50 million are not Christians.
- The immigrant Boomers are not like the U. S.-born Boomers.
- The Boomers are becoming increasingly receptive to giving to non-profits.
