\"How<\/h4>\n

The number one question I receive is “How do we get the younger (or in some cases older) women in our church to participate?”<\/p>\n

Women’s ministry teams everywhere struggle with how to engage multiple generations.<\/h4>\n

It’s a struggle I’ve faced myself in ministry.<\/p>\n

The church we attended while we were in Kentucky had a solid women\u2019s ministry. There was a core group of older women (60 years+) that had been faithfully serving on the team and attending women\u2019s ministry events for many years.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, our women’s ministry had the reputation of being for \u201colder women\u201d.<\/p>\n

Thankfully there was a desire to expand their reach to younger women. (Side note: If that desire isn\u2019t there in your church pray, pray, and pray for hearts to change.)<\/em><\/p>\n

We did several things that started a shift in the age of the women in attendance.<\/h4>\n

1. We added younger women to our women\u2019s ministry team.<\/strong> Those girls were intentional about inviting other women in their age group to our events. They\u2019d send them a text, post an invite on social media, and mention it in their Sunday school class.<\/p>\n

2. We had icebreakers at almost every event.<\/strong> We chose icebreakers that would get our women up, talking, and connecting with one another. Women\u2019s Ministry Bingo<\/a>, Summer Reflections<\/a>, High School Memories<\/a>, and Four Corners<\/a> are just a few of the icebreakers I have shared that require your women to interact.<\/p>\n

3. We sought out younger speakers that would draw in our younger women.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your women\u2019s ministry is already viewed as the \u201cold ladies club\u201d you\u2019re going to have to work hard to change that perception.<\/p>\n

Other ideas that work to engage multiple generations:<\/h4>\n
1. Assigned seating at events.<\/h5>\n

I know, you may get some push-back on this one but it works, but it works!\u00a0 Check out this post<\/a> on how we divide women into groups.<\/p>\n

2. Update your activities.<\/h5>\n

Survey your women<\/a> and find out what needs the younger women have that you could meet. Perhaps they need a “mommy group” with some mentor moms. Maybe they\u2019d like a weekly exercise group like Shazzy Fitness<\/a> or Body and Soul<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Update your decorations.<\/h5>\n

Purposefully select trendy decor and colors \u2013 Pinterest<\/a> is full of ideas.<\/p>\n

4. Freshen up your publicity.<\/h5>\n

Publicize your events in ways that reach those younger generations<\/a> \u2013 Instagram and texting specifically. Facebook will hit some of your 30 somethings, but not many and not many younger ones. Update your logo<\/a> if it hasn\u2019t been recently updated.<\/p>\n

5. Remove divisions and dividers in your ministry.<\/h5>\n

Phase out any activities or structure in place that divides women by their age. If you currently offer breakouts during Bible study by age start mixing them up. Advertise events as open to women of all ages.<\/p>\n

6. Gear your topics toward younger women.<\/h5>\n

Choose topics that appeal to younger women knowing that they\u2019ll also appeal to your older women. For example, bring in a Christian Image Consultant to talk about fashion and faith. Younger women are looking for real conversations \u2013 talk about those taboo topics<\/a> like abortion, divorce, porn, depression, anxiety, etc.<\/p>\n

7. Review your schedule of events.<\/h5>\n

Are you scheduling events when younger women are available? You\u2019ll be leaving out a large group of working women if most of your events are offered during the daytime. That may mean adding an evening Bible study<\/a> or an evening moms group. Not sure, ask them on a survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8. Offer childcare.<\/h5>\n

Childcare<\/a> is an obstacle for many moms and not just the single moms. If you live in a large homeschool community you may need to offer childcare for older children during the daytime. It\u2019s another great question to put on a survey!<\/p>\n

9. Reel your older women back in.<\/h5>\n

Encourage and remind your older women that your younger women NEED and WANT them. They need older women to love on and encourage them as they wipe snotty noses and struggle to find time to shower much less study their Bible. Remind them of Titus 2 and Mary and Elizabeth.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that it will take time \u2013 often years \u2013 to expand the group of women that your ministry is reaching.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be persistent. Keep trying and don\u2019t give up!<\/p>\n
