“Intergenerational ministry occurs when a congregation intentionally combines the generations together in mutual serving, sharing, or learning within the core activities of the church in order to live out being the body of Christ to each other and the greater community”

Allen and Ross

Intergenerational means that the service will aim to suit all ages of people who are comfortable with a variety of styles and activities. It is not meant to simply be a children’s service. It is planned to be the service that families and all ages will be encouraged to attend. It will allow for informality, and the use of ‘hands on’ activities.

This service will cater for a mixture of styles to suit the mix of people that are hoped to attend. The music/hymns/songs will allow for the very newest songs to be learnt and enjoyed and will have space for music from across the range of styles and ages.

A variety of instruments will be encouraged to lead worship, and although the organ may feature in the service, it will not be the lead instrument, and will be used as appropriate to the style of music.

All ages will be involved in the planning and leading of the service and it will be quite appropriate for children and young people to remain in the service for the whole time.
