The Influence of Intergenerational Ministries on Personal Spiritual Growth

Seminary Commons

Most congregations are multigenerational by membership. Generally, programs in the Seventh-day Adventist Church are structured to address age-specific needs at the cost of the richness of intergenerational membership. Age-defined ministries can lead to multiple worldviews within the church causing tension. The goal of this poster is to propound that the integration of intergenerational ministry into our churches would positively influence the members’ spiritual growth through fostering healthy relationships, affirming each person’s values, promoting shared values, and incorporating the strengths of each generation in order to actualize the vision of the church.
