Becoming Intergenerational: An Invitation to Reimagine Church Across Generations: How Churches Rediscover Mission, Discipleship, and Belonging Across Generations
Many churches are asking the wrong question.
The goal is not simply how to attract younger people or reverse decline. The deeper question is what does it mean to become the Church together again across generations?
In Becoming Intergenerational, Andrew J. Suite offers a theologically grounded and deeply practical invitation for pastors, lay leaders, and congregations to rediscover shared life, shared mission, and shared discipleship. Drawing from Scripture, Wesleyan theology, Fresh Expressions, congregational experience, and sociological insight, this book shows why intergenerational ministry is not a strategy for church survival, but a faithful expression of the Church’s true identity.
