Most ministries are trying to keep up with the next generations without a clear picture of what’s actually shaping kids and teens today.
That’s why we’re launching our Next Gen CoLabs.
These are 5-week, interactive experiences designed to help you turn research into a clear, practical strategy you can actually implement.
This April, you can choose from two tracks, or bundle both to get the complete Next Gen CoLab experience:
• Children's ministry - beginning April 21st at 1PM EST
• Teen's ministry - beginning April 22nd at 1PM EST
You won’t just learn what’s changing. You’ll know what to do next.

47% of church leaders with a high missional approach to technology say it has significantly improved congregational connection.
Among those with a low missional approach, that number drops to just 7%.
Technology doesn’t automatically build community.
But when it’s aligned with your mission, it can deepen discipleship and connection across your church.
