A few days of good food, good company, and good fun—soul-refreshing and life-giving.” - Herbert Wu

“There is a certain joy that comes when God's people gather, and this is certainly the case for Intergenerate Conference.

I leave, having made some wonderful new connections, and plenty of inspiration and ideas to weave into my own context” -Karo Wilson, Director of Presbyterian Children and Families Ministries

“The InterGenerate Conference is the missing piece that Church leaders and the academic community need to pull together a vibrant Intergenerational Ministry. Practical tools are presented alongside seasoned research. I didn't come away with new ideas for a ministry makeover. I have blue prints to build a brand new program. Laura Hunter, Director of Growing Families, A New Discipleship Program for Seminary Families

“Intentional Intergenerational Blessings : It is the time!! Slow but progressing!!”

“Intergenerate is the answer to the question, who else is doing Intergenerational Ministry or if you just want to know more. Through a mix of theology and praxis you get a chance to fill the gaps in your knowledge and meet some beautiful people along the way.”

“It was a great experience, I only regret not having time to get to know more people. My body was ready to go home, but my spirit was not.”

“‘Just Do It’ and come. You won't regret it and it'll be time well spent. You will be blessed!!”

“Helping a congregation become more intentionally intergenerational can be lonely work. At InterGenerate, I felt surrounded by kindred spirits -- people from a wide variety of contexts and experiences but who were united in asking similar questions and working toward similar hopes. I feel supported and affirmed for the ministry ahead.”

“I came to InterGenerate thinking I was here to glean information for a children-in-worship project. I left with fabulous ideas for that, but with so much more, primarily a renewed understanding that God is at work through every intentional and ‘chance’ encounter. More blessings than I can count. Thank you!”

“This is my first time attending Intergenerate, and it will not be my last! Speakers and fellow attendees have filled my heart, head and hands beyond my imagining and I feel equipped for my next steps on the Intergenerational journey.”

“Thank you for the Planning team to make everything in place! Wonderful work!” Winga Cheung, from Bayview church of Hong Kong

Our NEW Book Imaginining All Generations is HERE - Order NOW!

Remember and reimagine church—together.

Many churches today face worry and concern over their collective future. One tragic consequence is that growing anxiety can turn inward on communities of faith. A subtle distancing and dividing can occur, often happening along generational lines. Us-versus-Them thinking morphs into Old-versus-Young. Instead of a culture of generation to generation, churches are shaped and formed more by a culture of generation versus generation.

Imagining All Generations offers a better, more faithful way forward by remembering our identity as the generational people of God. This volume features nineteen authors from around the world, providing fresh theological reflection, innovative practical wisdom, and a unified call for all churches to move into a more intergenerational future by answering four key questions:

  • What theology and theory support an intergenerational vision of the church?

  • What are researchers and practitioners learning about how to meaningfully bring together different generations in communities of faith?

  • How can churches better share faith among various age groups within their congregation?

  • How might we reimagine the worship assembly as a time and place where every generation brings a valuable contribution?
