Come Together: Intergenerational Ministry and activities with a Messy Church experience
AIM Conference
Intergenerational ministry nurtures Christ-centered community, bringing together multiple generations to experience God as they learn from and care for each other. Together we will investigate intergenerational ministry and its principles, enjoy a Messy Church experience and learn more about this example of intergenerational ministry, create a transitional intergenerational activity, and discuss how intergenerational ministry can be part of transitional ministry.
