Generational conflicts are so common they’re cliche. Churches are notorious for infighting among generations, but many churches are doing multi-generational ministry well. Thom and Sam discuss how Millennials and Boomers can thrive together in the same church.
1. Boomers are numerous and generally have a positive view of the church.
2. Retiring Boomers are prime candidates for serving in part-time church positions.
3. Most children’s ministries could use more volunteer grandpas and grandmas.
4. On the whole, Boomers provide a level of financial stability in the church.
5. Generational ministry is biblical!
6. And don’t forget Generation X.

There are several reasons why security is critical at our church. First and foremost, it helps to prevent potential harm to individuals on our property. This includes protecting against physical threats, such as violence or theft, as well as safeguarding against potential accidents or emergencies.
In addition to protecting against physical harm, security is also important for maintaining the integrity and reputation of our church. By having a secure environment, we can help to ensure that our church is a welcoming and safe place for all who visit. This can also help to prevent damage to our facilities or theft of valuable property.
Finally, security is essential for maintaining the trust and confidence of our members and the wider community. By demonstrating a commitment to safety, we can help to foster a sense of community and belonging within our church.
Our partner, Smart Church Solutions focuses on everything related to church facility management and has developed a free gift for your church relative to emergency preparedness. You can download that resource for free in the show notes or by going to www.smartchurchsolutions.com/security.
