What is Threads Within?

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

Resources for supporting  caregivers, families, and churches

Support, just for you

You’re doing your best to nurture faith at home—but it shouldn’t feel like another task on your list. The Parents & Caregivers’ Library offers spiritual practices designed for real life: flexible, meaningful, and rooted in grace. Whether you have five minutes or a free afternoon, you’ll find simple ways to connect faith and family at your own pace. No pressure. Just support, made for you.

Support Starts Here

Try this with your family

Faith grows in the small, shared moments—storytime, dinner conversations, walks around the block. The Families’ Library is full of creative, ready-to-use activities that help you explore Christian values together. Designed to spark connection, curiosity, and joy, each resource invites your family to learn and grow in ways that feel natural, not forced. No prep required—just start where you are.

Start Exploring

Equip Your Church for Everyday Faith

Families are longing for connection. Churches are stretched thin. Threads Within helps you care for both—with ready-to-share resources, social media content, and tools that extend your ministry beyond Sunday mornings. Reimagine faith formation as something that happens in kitchens and car rides, not just classrooms. It’s not about doing more—it’s about making space for what matters most.
