My Random Opinions regarding the Church and Serving

In MY opinion, based on 25 years of ministry experience in a variety of churches, I will say this... 1. 20% of the people provide 100% of the servant leadership in most churches; 2. The folks who are between ages 28-45 seem to serve the least of all age groups.  3. The millennial generation and generation Z want to serve and to be a part of a church that not only "talks the talk" they "walk the walk".  They don't want to, nor have time to simply attend church, they want to be a part of a church that lives out what it says it believes, otherwise they would rather not attend church at all. Of course there are those who cannot serve in the way they would like to because of health issues or otherwise. But these make up a small portion of the overall global church (body) of Christ.  What is needed most to encourage people to serve? A clear vision and mission along with the hopeful outcome.  No vision + no mission = no purpose (goal).  People want to know the what and why of what they are doing.
