The Bible refers to consequences continuing to the third and fourth generations, and blessings for a thousand generations. If that’s true, why has the next generation dropped out of church and lost interest in God?

In October 2011 youth and young adult ministry professionals gathered at Andrews University for the 180° Symposium hosted by the Center for Youth Evangelism. Thirteen papers were presented during the symposium, followed by the group forming a think tank to brainstorm on the topic. Generational Faith is the result of that thinking. Here you will find essays covering the relationship between theology and culture, how to effectively pass down faith from generation to generation, and a study on how Abraham’s faith passed to Isaac, and then to Jacob. Youth and young adult ministry need to evolve in this era of compressed change, Generational Faith is your guide to help ensure that the next generation will continue to follow God and serve the church.
