The Assembly has released a new resource that sets out our vision for what it means to live our life and faith as an Intergenerational Church. This valuable new resource, Being an Intergenerational Church, includes an expression of commitment, a statement of vision, an invitation to act and plenty of resources to explore.
"Fundamentally, Being an Intergenerational Church is about relationship. It is about being who, and how, we are called to be as the Body of Christ."

More about the resource
Fundamentally, Being an Intergenerational Church is about relationship. It is about being who, and how, we are called to be as the Body of Christ. Becoming a more intergenerational church involves our thinking, our attitudes and our behaviour. It is about our caring, celebrating, learning, praying, serving and growing…together as followers of Jesus.
For individuals, Congregations, Presbyteries, Synods and the Assembly of the Uniting Church in Australia, Being an Intergenerational Church is an opportunity to discover what intergenerational church is and isn’t, to embrace a strategic foundation for being a more intergenerational church and to act more intentionally around becoming an intergenerational church.
