Attend a free online GENeratiONs Together (1 hour) to explore what GenOn offers to support intergenerational church communities.
Request to hold a free online Intergenerational Ministry Interest Session (1 hour) for your leaders to explore the benefits of an intentional intergenerational ministry approach and methods for implementation at your church.
For church associations, districts, parishes, presbyteries, and synods, we recommend our Cohorts for Intergenerational Ministry Development.
Funding help is available. Contact us for information.
Thoughts from a participant
“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
