What is Generations?
The foundation of the Generations Ministry is based on the fundamentals of the New Testament Church as recorded in Acts Chapter 2 where we are told, “all believers devoted themselves to the teaching and fellowship, and breaking of bread and prayer. All were together and had everything in common, giving their possession to those in need, meeting together and praising God. We believe these characteristics exemplify the Generations Ministry as we too enjoy the fellowship, ministering, discipling, evangelizing and the praise and worship as part of our daily walk.
John 4:23-24
Praise/Worship

Provide/Ministry (Matthew 20:26-28)

Proclaim/Evangelize (Matthew 28:19-20)
Make disciples through outreach, missions and Bible study; teaching obedience to God’s commands as we reach throughout the world.
Prayer (Mark 11:24)
