Intergenerational Ministry That Works, Rev. Bill Monday

Presentation Description

64% of Generation Z are leaving the church. They’ll be gone by the end of high school. Millennial stats historically show the same. Every generation in the church is overcome with concern. What will this mean for the future? What will become of our children and our children’s children?

Intergenerational ministry that works is key. In fact, it’s a nonnegotiable. Connecting the generations in meaningful gospel engagement and life changing purpose is a critical component to the retention of every generation in Christ both statistically 70%+ and biblically (Titus 2:1-8).

What’s your church doing about that? Like the vast majority of congregations, the desire is there, but the ministry isn’t. So, what does intergenerational ministry look like—the kind that works? And can it happen at my church? Encouraging answers to these and many more questions are given in this breakout session designed for all ages, all people, and all churches big or small.
