Congratulations to InterGenerate, recipient of the 2025 TENx10 Faith Service Grant!
We invite all ministry leaders and researchers to come together regarding youth and intergenerational ministry to:
+share in research and ministry
+discuss current needs and priorities for youth today.
Our hope is to synergize future research to bridge the gap, to keep our youth in the forefront of the intergenerational conversation.
Contact valerie.m.grissom@gmail.com for more information.
Our goals of this project are to:
+Elevate stories of youth participating in acts of service and justice in faith communities around the world.
+Enable leaders to build intergenerational, formational relationships with youth by using a new tool created by InterGenerate to interview youth and share their stories. Our goal is to collect at least 50 youth stories by Sept. 15.
+Catalyze future research regarding youth and intergenerational ministry, particularly in regard to discipleship, service, and justice.

Valerie Grissom, Project Manager
Valerie’s research and ministry utilized the powerful medium of intergenerational and intercultural story sharing, so she is very excited about incorporating intergenerational story sharing into this project. She also loves to facilitate collaborations, so she looks foward to collecting and learning from others researching regarding youth and intergeneraitonal minsitry.
Larry Green, Promotion & Technology Director
Larry Green’s doctoral research has delved into why youth are leaving the church, and how intergenerational ministry, especially through the lens of family systems theory, can facilitate thriving intergenerational ministry that invites and collaborates with youth and young adults. Larry is excited to use his skills for this project as a podcastor, video creator, communicator, author, and pastor, and is passionate about developing relational discipleship with youth intergenerationally.
This program is made possible through a Faith and Service Grant from the TENx10 Collaboration at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California, with funds provided by Lilly Endowment Inc.
