Study guide: Generations of faith

How intergenerational ministry can sustain the church

It’s no secret that membership in the ELCA is getting older, and many grandmas and grandpas in our churches today lament how few children and young adults are present. What’s a congregation to do? Leading Lutheran thinkers believe intergenerational ministry can help by bringing people of all ages together for a time of fellowship, faith and/or fun!

Download a free study guide for “Generations of faith: How intergenerational ministry can sustain the church,” which appeared in the October 2021 print issue. The guide contains three pages of discussion questions and a copy of the article.
