Spiritual Growth
The purpose of Generations Church is to equip and mobilize men and women for God’s mission in the world. We see the church’s growth and development being accomplished as an interlinking, threefold process: Community, Spirituality, and Mission.
Community:
Community means that we create a place of belonging where people can learn to believe the good news, belong to a community that is learning to behave (live) by it, and together become a living example of it. We are unified (one), connected to one another, maintaining the humility and gentleness necessary for unity to flourish. We accept anyone whom Christ accepts. We don’t show favoritism, screen out, or judge.
Spirituality:
Spiritual formation is the process of becoming Christlike for the sake of others. But it is not just about individual spirituality. The spirituality itself is communal. We read the Bible as a community, always listening for the insights and input of others. We pray as a community, our individual prayers merging with those of our brothers and sisters in Christ. We fast and study and celebrate and worship and rest together. We have an increasingly strong desire to be entirely set apart for God’s work, growing Christlike every day. In these ways, through private and communal spiritual disciplines, we become unique, holy people.
Missional:
Spirituality and community flow into mission. Mission is who we are as “sent” people. We share the identity of the apostles as people sent into the world on a mission. The technical word is “Apostolic” or the sent people. Jesus said it: “As the Father sent me, so I send you” – which means that we are sent not to “be served” but to “serve”. In that mission, the church is the catalyst of the good news, not the goal.
At Generations Church we want to help you find your way back to God. We want you to connect with a community of Christfollowers where we can grow spiritually and take on the challenge of living out our faith. Daily we strive to love God, love others, and live Christlike.
