Intergenerational Faith Formation 


Intergenerational Faith Formation Resources 

Generations Together: Caring, Praying, Learning, Celebrating, and Serving Faithfully Book
Faith is transmitted from generation to generation in extended families and intergenerational congregations. Every congregation can discover its intergenerational heart and soul, and become an intentionally intergenerational community that nurtures the faith of all ages and equips them for living as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today. 
Generations Together guides leaders in learning what this vision looks like in practice, and how to guide a congregation in envisioning and designing projects and initiatives to become more intentionally intergenerational.
