Resource Presentation: Church Together: Ideas for Ministry with All Ages with Dave Csinos & Traci Smith

Many churches are asking profound questions about belonging, discipleship, and community in a rapidly changing church landscape. This webinar will help equip you to support your church as it navigates Christian faith and ministry in our changing world by offering a practical vision for a church where generations worship, learn, serve, and grow together. Drawing on their new book Church Together: An Essential Guide to All-Age Ministry, Traci Smith and Dave Csinos will explore creative ideas and field-tested practices for building a strong intergenerational church.

About the Presenters: Dave Csinos is Associate Professor of Practical Theology at Atlantic School of Theology in Halifax, Canada, where he directs the Diploma in Intergenerational Faith Formation. He also serves as founder and president of Faith Forward and research director for Family Faith Every Day. He is author and editor of several books, including A Gospel for All Ages: Teaching and Preaching with the Whole Church and Church Together: An Essential Guide to All-Age Ministry. Dave speaks globally about intergenerational faith formation, children’s and youth ministry, homiletics, and culture.

Online Cohort Meetings

Intergenerate cohorts are intended to keep us connected throughout the year. They meet each month both as a small group and with the larger InterGenerate community (InterGenerate Online Gatherings- see more info above.)

On the odd months, cohorts meet virtually for resource sharing, problem-solving, accountibility, and prayer. On even months, all cohort members are welcome to register and attend for free the InterGenerate Online Gatherings (see more info above).
