Leaders in Christian communities are all asking the same question: How can we bring the generations back together?

InterGenerate addresses important questions of why we should bring the generations back together, but even more significantly, how we can bring generations back together. In this edited collection, ministers, church leaders, and Christian educators will find valuable, new generational theory perspectives, fresh biblical and theological insights, and practical outcomes backed by current research.

InterGenerate offers important guidance on topics including

[€[ intergenerational spiritual disciplines,

[€[ transitioning from multigenerational to intergenerational,

[€[ new research that focuses directly on intergenerational

ministry and offers practical outcomes to implement, and

[€[ benefits of intergenerational ministry for the most marginalized generations.
