Our Heritage of
Intergenerational
Ministries
When we discuss the goal of
“bridging generations,” it is far
too easy to pick out the various aspects
of church that highlight one specific
generation and point out the exceptional
instances of cross-pollination with other
generations. It doesn’t come naturally to
us to engage with those who are different.
This is true of race and culture, and it’s
also true of age.
There is no silver bullet that will easily
bring generations together, even in the
church. But perhaps there are pockets
of “generational expertise” from which
we collectively may glean some valuable
insights and practices. I have been
privileged to serve within one of our
denomination’s pockets of generational
expertise, Heritage Ministries. Founded
in 1886, Heritage Ministries has grown
Larry Petry serves as the senior
chaplain of Heritage Ministries.
