Intergenerational Ministry Development

“Liz's workshop was engaging and interactive. As we explore how to become a more intergenerational congregation, GenOn has given us some concrete and common language to use. Our small group conversations resulted in church members dreaming about a number of different ministries. We are excited about what that means for intentional intergenerationality making its way into many areas of church life here.”

Rev. Julie Hester, Associate Pastor for Faith Formation, First Presbyterian Church, Asheville, NC

Get Started

We recommend you visit our Becoming Intentionally Intergenerational page and contact us to discuss your next steps. 

Consider attending a free GENeratiONs Together session to explore how GenOn can help you on your journey toward more intentional intergenerational ministry.

For church associations, districts, presbyteries, and synods, we recommend our Cohorts for Intergenerational Ministry Development.

Option 1: Intergenerational Checkup (1 90-minute session online)

Request this session for you and your church leaders to evaluate your current ministries through an intergenerational lens. This is an excellent place to begin as you explore ways to become a more intentionally intergenerational congregation. Learn why gathering multiple generations together helps to cultivate Christ-centered community. 

To hold an Intergenerational Checkup Session, the cost for your church is $375. Email Training Director Betsy Dishman for more information.

Our Intergenerational Development Package is a guided process for a team of church leaders assisted by a GenOn Guide.
