CONNECTING WITH MILLENNIALS (information found in Making Space f.docx

donnajames55

CONNECTING WITH MILLENNIALS (information found in Making Space for Millennials by Barna Group, 2015, p. 7. “Five major reasons that millennials stay connected with a Christian community: 1. Cultural discernment – engaging with the wider culture as a faith community, to assess and respond biblically to its effects on human flourishing. 2. Life-shaping relationships – consistent long-term friendship with at least one older Christian adult who invests time and resources into their lives. 3. A first-hand experience of Jesus – the confidence, through seasons of doubt and pain, that comes from having personally experienced God’s revelation in Christ. 4. Reverse mentoring – being valued for the knowledge, skills, and energy they can offer to older members of the community of faith. 5. Vocational discipleship – whole –life spiritual formation that includes understanding their work as a God-given calling. 13 Marks of a Planter (a mix of Charles Ridley’s classic 13 along with Paul Nixon’s observations coaching about six dozen planters to date.) ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. They can envision and articulate a desired future and effectively invite others to join them in a journey toward that future 2. Very strong personal spiritual practice and experience of God’s Call on their life (this results in courage and resilience) 3. History of effective, evangelistic conversation and relationships 4. An intense internal drive, even a hunger to do something very well – in this case to grow a church from scratch 5. They tithe 6. They love the community where they will be planting 7. Introvert/Extrovert is really not a big deal (but you will need some extroverts on your team) 8. They have spent quality time in highly evangelistic and innovative ministry – preferably in a new start. They know the DNA of the teams that pull off such things. 9. They embrace mentoring and coaching relationships 10. They can be both stubborn and flexible – and somehow they know when to be which 11. They get bored after three years on average 12. The family is fully bought in and the plant is a family affair. 13. It is almost never their first rodeo – they have done ministry start up before, they have grown ministry before, they have led people to faith before, they have discipled people before, and they have developed leaders before.
