Overview
In some churches, the attempt to support the unity of the church and unity in families has given birth to a ministry paradigm called intergenerational ministry. How well does your church (and its leaders) understand and practice the major principles of this important ministry? Use these assessments to bridge some generational gaps in your services, atmosphere, and classes. Look at your church from a bird's eye view, or to dive into the details of a ministry that integrates seniors, youth, and everyone in between.
