Passing Up the Faith

Posted by Liz Perraud at

Intergenerational faith formation isn’t just about the kids. Passing on the faith is not always about passing DOWN the faith, sometimes it’s about passing it up. Don’t believe me?

GenOn Youth Summit: Becoming the best version of myself

Posted by Liz Perraud at

The following was written by Caroline Doughty, high school senior from Ark and Dove Presbyterian Church in Odenton, Maryland. Caroline wrote this for her college applications and then shared it with us.   "The place I feel perfectly content is GenOn Youth Summit, a week-long religious conference I attend every summer with young adults who want to retreat from their normal lives to enrich their relationship with God and with others. Outside of GenOn, teenagers are surrounded by harsh language and peer pressure, and they feel as though they must conform to society's expectations. At GenOn, the environment is very...
