We are the first generation to be strategically targeted as consumers while we were children. Boomers now occupy the largest percentage of leaders in our churches. Teaching boomers is important not only for the value that Bible study has in our personal lives, but also for maintaining a solid and unchanging foundation from which these leaders draw when teaching others. Teachers must assimilate biblical content into their own lives and live as examples of what they teach. Their idealist nature causes them to judge the effectiveness of our teaching by how we live what we teach.
Boomers seek spiritual satisfaction.
They have a tremendous hunger for spiritual nourishment. Boomers tend to regard ideals, truth, and values as absolutes rather than relative. Boomers continue to be influenced by the visual media. Boomers were introduced to variety in teaching and learning approaches early in life. Creative teaching methods engage learners well.
