2026 Intergenerate Global Online Conference
On February 24 (25 in Australia!), 228 people came together from 11 countries, literally across the globe. Our theme was Gathering Heads, Hearts, Hands of Every Generation Around the World. Together, we continued to deepen what it means to build a global community of Christians dedicated to bringing the generations of the church together. We exlplored what it means to be intentional about building community in an online space together. As a community, we wanted to embody the spirit of 1 Corinthians 12:12: "For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ." We came together as pastors, children’s leaders, family ministers, youth ministers, researchers, worship pastors, council members, session leaders—whole ministry teams from churches from multiple denominations and sizes, with different theological perspectives, different views, different preferences, but all working to hold space intentionally for diversity in community. Why? Because we believe we are better together! We offered many ways to connect and build community. We also worked to honor this sacred space of difference, recognizing what it means for us to each lean in, listen, to connect, to encourage, to learn, to grow. We also offered Vendor Rooms (with lots of giveaways!) and Welcome Rooms before and after the conference to offer resources and support. And we also offered an Online Conference Vendor & Resource Hub, still open even for those who did not come to the conference until Mar. 15. And for those who missed this wonderful day, never fear—we recorded all 12 sessions, and you can purchase a Conference Recording Resource Bundle you and your ministry team to explore in the coming year. Here are some of the testimonies from participants:“
“Bringing together practitioners and scholars from around the world, the InterGenerate conference was an opportunity to connect, equip and imagine new possibilities in intergenerational faith and community formation. Thank You for an incredible conference experience.”
“Listening to the plenary address by Josh Packard scratched an itch that has been tickling my mind for a while. His talk was timely, especially for church leaders who are often trying to reinvent what worked with youth in earlier generations, all the while wringing their hands on how to reach the current generation of children and youth, as well as get all generations connected in their congregations. Simply put, we keep telling ourselves a BELIEF story that used to work, when we are living inside a TRUST story. The statistics Packard gave and the timely research he presented is a much needed corrective for the church around the globe in this rapidly changing era.”
“A great mix of practical ideas and deep thinking. Very challenging.”
“It was wonderful to link with an international conference which though early morning was a time I could get to in Australia, not just watch a replay. Some great speakers who got me thinking, and things I know I will share with churches in the coming weeks.”
“The InterGenerate conference had helpful topics, experienced speakers and gave a great opportunity to connect with others in ministry.”
“It was encouraging to hear similar stories across the world. Hearing the latest research has helped put things into better perspective and has given me something to take back to my church community to help others have a better understanding regarding the issues surrounding younger people in the church.”
“I really appreciated the opportunity to hear from so many different perspectives on the topic of intergenerational ministry. The online format made this much easier and WAY more accessible. Thank you so much for doing this!”
“Great to meet with and hear from people all around the world who are on the intergenerational ministry journey.”
“InterGenerate inspired me to continue to work for the unity of the church. I loved the cutting edge research that helped me understand our current context and how to listen to the longing at the core of each generation.”
“Today’s InterGenerate Global Online Conference was excellent! Thank you for your hard work. I have lots of takeaways. Especially the IYS Intergenerational Panel at the end…For any of you who missed it - I highly recommend watching Josh Packard’s plenary talk…a LOT to think about…”
“What a joy to celebrate the remarkable work you and your team have poured into the InterGenerate Global Conference. Truly—well done! Your faithfulness, creativity, and perseverance have blessed so many, and I’m deeply grateful for the countless hours invested behind the scenes. Thank you for leading with such grace. “Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labour is not in vain” 1 Corinthians 15:58 Thank you as well for the privilege of participating. It was both a joy and an honour. Lord willing, as we continue this journey together, may God open doors for ongoing Kingdom collaboration that advances the cause of Christ in ways beyond what we can ask or imagine.” - Dr. Lawson Murray, President, Scripture Union

Our NEW Book Imaginining All Generations is HERE - Order NOW!
Remember and reimagine church—together.
Many churches today face worry and concern over their collective future. One tragic consequence is that growing anxiety can turn inward on communities of faith. A subtle distancing and dividing can occur, often happening along generational lines. Us-versus-Them thinking morphs into Old-versus-Young. Instead of a culture of generation to generation, churches are shaped and formed more by a culture of generation versus generation.
Imagining All Generations offers a better, more faithful way forward by remembering our identity as the generational people of God. This volume features nineteen authors from around the world, providing fresh theological reflection, innovative practical wisdom, and a unified call for all churches to move into a more intergenerational future by answering four key questions:
What theology and theory support an intergenerational vision of the church?
What are researchers and practitioners learning about how to meaningfully bring together different generations in communities of faith?
How can churches better share faith among various age groups within their congregation?
How might we reimagine the worship assembly as a time and place where every generation brings a valuable contribution?
