Brethren Press<\/a> invites you to participate in an ecumenical survey conducted by the Committee on the Uniform Lessons Series<\/a> (CUS), a ministry of the National Council of Churches<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are participating in this study because the findings may help shape future resources for Christian education, discipleship, and intergenerational ministry. We encourage pastors, Christian educators, congregational leaders, and ministry volunteers to share their experiences\u2014even if their congregations do not currently have an intergenerational ministry program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey asks how congregations understand and practice intergenerational ministry, what resources they have found useful, and what support could help them explore new possibilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this study, intergenerational ministry means intentionally engaging multiple generations together in the same activity, at the same time, in ways that encourage mutual participation, learning, and relationships\u2014not simply including children in a program designed for adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete the survey. Please submit responses by Monday, Nov. 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complete the Intergenerational Ministry Survey<\/strong> here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your responses will contribute to the overall findings, as well as an aggregate report for Brethren Press, where sufficient responses are received. Individual responses will remain confidential and will not be identified in any report. If you would like to receive a summary of the findings, you may provide your email address at the end of the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for helping us better understand how congregations are nurturing faith across generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
