Gaps and Traps • Generational Gap not just a 60’s term • Four Generations in the workplace • Five 7 - Generations in the Church body – – – Builders Boomers Busters Millenials Generation X, Y, Z • Rise of Church Planting – – To address dying churches To address multi-generational society To address multi-cultural changes Church Planters have no desire to go to an established Church, too much to work through
Gaps and Traps • Generational makeup your church • Age gaps/Missing Generations • Generational Focus – Target Group – Target Generation • Different – Views – Values – Viewpoints
Gaps and Traps • Conflicts – Music; Budgets; Dress – Facilities; Values; Views – Doctrines/theology • Unresolved Conflict leads to departure • New Church or new Staff • Focus is always on What is Different – not on What we have in Common. • Quit trying to FIX each other! – A bit of hypocrisy with generations who create an environment for the youth, then criticize them for taking advantage of the environment created for them.
Generational Differences • Hadyn Shaw – Sticking Points@/Generational IQ • 12 Sticking Points with Generations – – – Communication Decision making Dress code Feedback Fun Knowledge transfer Loyalty Meetings Policies Respect Training Work ethic Best medium? Who and how are things decided? How casually can I dress? Do we want it, how much to give? At work how much fun can we have? How do we pass it on? How long do I stay? What happens, do we need meeting? Rules or guidelines? How do I get others to respect me How do I learn best? Hours and project completion? Hadyn Shaw Sticking Points, pg 30
Gaps and Traps • Effects – Church Health • Fighting between the generations for Preferences • Stagnant • Apathy, agnostic leads to apostasy – Church Ministries • Entertaining • Trying to Keep people instead of Get people – Church Fellowship • Splintered • Cliques • Us versus Them [We and They]
