Leaders Workshop: The Silent Exodus of Senior Adults
Tue, Apr 28
|ZOOM
This overlooked exodus matters. In many congregations, senior adults are the backbone of weekly attendance. They are often the most faithful givers, the most consistent volunteers, and the most reliable prayer warriors. When they drift away, the church feels it in the offering plate and more.

“The Silent Exodus of Senior Adults”
Article by Thom S. Rainer
"For years, church leaders have sounded the alarm about the departure of younger generations. We’ve analyzed the data on Millennials. We’ve debated how to reach Gen Z. Entire conferences are devoted to the “next generation” and what the church must do to keep them engaged.
All of that is needed. But there is another exodus taking place in our churches, one that rarely makes the headlines and seldom finds its way into our strategy sessions. It is the quiet departure of senior adults." - Thom S. Rainer
