The idea behind “growing together” focuses on unleashing the potential
of today’s young people while building a thriving community for all generations.
This idea is built on older and younger generations working together
to further the gospel mission.
In this issue, we explore this idea a bit further and discover why it is so
crucial to the health of our individual churches as well as our denomination.
Read about the innovative tools that are being used in ministry, how to build
meaningful relationships with other generations and hear from a few young
adults who are making a difference through the support of their mentors and
community.
Did you have an older spiritual mentor or church leader that helped you
along your faith journey? Have you been able to share a word of wisdom or
counsel to a younger leader or member? Ask yourself, what part can each of
us play in supporting congregations that are intentionally intergenerational,
and how can we help them thrive in their communities?
