How do you lead and disciple all generations in the church—especially when you’re the only pastor? How do you help children, youth, and young adults not just stay connected, but grow to maturity as Christian adults?

In the Fall of 2025, Horizon and MCS are offering a course designed to help you answer exactly those questions.

Why take this course?

Whether you’re in full-time ministry, bi-vocational, or volunteering in your church, Next Generation Ministry will equip you to:

  • Better understand the unique spiritual needs of each generation in the church
  • Unite different ministry areas with shared vision and strategy
  • Develop your own personal philosophy of ministry
  • Design practical strategies to build thriving children’s, youth, and young adult ministries

You’ll explore how to nurture faith across all life stages—even when resources are limited—and help your congregation move forward as one.
