This major project discusses the findings of my qualitative research study exploring ministry leaders’ experiences of leading intentionally intergenerational congregations. They reflected upon their formative experiences, their leadership styles, experiences and roles, and their hopes for a stronger intergenerational future. There were four main formative experiences: growing up intergenerational in families of origin and churches, academic experiences, ministry experiences and the experience of becoming a parent. All experiences were based on relationships. I identified a cycle of leading as leaders listen and observe, share learning and adjust strategy, and practice. The ministry leaders’ intergenerational formation experiences led them to multiply what they received in their formative experiences by generating generative generations, for a stronger intergenerational future church.
