In the fall of 2022, GenOn Ministries received a grant to create resources for Christian caregivers and families, and to help churches more effectively support the families in their churches and communities.
Rooted in the intergenerational theology and framework GenOn crafted over 60 years ago, the project seeks to build relationships between family members, as well as between families and churches, so all people are loved, cared for, and belong.
Throughout 2023, we selected 109 churches from across the U.S. to participate in the project. The churches are diverse in size, socio-economics, race and ethnicity, location, and denomination. They participated in learning new skills to support families and invited families to test new resources.
The resources developed by GenOn and its ecumenical partners are:
-
Rooted in Christian values
-
Simple and easy to put into practice
-
Designed with family life in mind
-
Focused on fun, wonder, and creativity
