What Is Next-Gen?

Next Gen is simply about the Next Generation. That includes infants through high school and college to young adults.

Traditional churches have always separated these ministries into separate categories. Moderate ministries acknowledge the independence of these ministries but have corporate them all under the same tier of leadership to help all reach the same common goal. To inspire, encourage, and connect with the Next-Generation from the time they are born until adulthood.

What We Do?

We know that we are in a new age of outreach since the COVID-19 crisis started. Next-Gen Leaders are working hard to plan the best ways to stay intentional about encouraging camaraderie among our children and youth.

Because of our commitment to intentional disciple-making among the upcoming generation, we have committed ourselves to using all available digital platforms to connect virtually with our Next-Gen at home or on the go. In small groups or per-recorded videos.

How We Stay Connected?

Even when we can't meet physically, we are still able to provide content online to share the Gospel with our Early childhood, Preschool, Elementary, Middle School, Junior High School, High School age listeners.

We've taken our in-person experience online during this season.  Post a briefly record video message to encourage and point students to the hope of Jesus on Facebook, Instagram, or other social media platforms.
