Next Gen Engagement

Fostering intergenerational relationships so all people can help steward in the kingdom of God.

We empower and equip children and young adults to lead the church, and we come alongside faith communities to prioritize and disciple the youth entrusted to their care.

The Church of Today

Too often we consider children and young people “the church of tomorrow.” That is a dangerous phrase for the future of faith. The fact is, if there is to be a “church of tomorrow,” we must help children and youth embrace their role as the church today.

In Next Generation Engagement, we come alongside churches to help them see children and youth as the leaders they are. Through the fostering of intergenerational relationships, we bring the church together in ministry, community, and worship. The result is all generations influencing each other’s faith development, as together they are formed, transformed, and conformed to the image of Christ.
