Description
LIFT (Living in Faith Together) puts the highest priority on growing Christ-centred relationships, affirming that nurturing people into an abundant life-giving relationship with God through Jesus Christ is the most important thing the church ever does. When generations mutually invest in one another, Christ-centred relationships grow and intergenerational ministry is born. As relationships among the generations deepen, the church is transformed from doing intergenerational programming to thriving as an intergenerational community. Christ-centred community draws us all closer to God.
LIFT can be used in addition to or in place of other faith formation offerings. Sample settings for LIFT: Sunday School, before or after 5th Sunday worship, special gatherings, offsite events, midweek, summer, Advent, Lent, dinner time, at home, and VBS. Your church may have other opportunities to gather generations together for LIFT.
This sample introduces the concept of LIFT and gatherings to nurture intergenerational community.
