Mission Statement & Ministry Plan
There is a process for setting up a grandparenting ministry with a solid foundation. Two steps in this process are the formation of a mission statement and ministry plan. Both should be focused on Intentional Christian Grandparenting in purpose and practice. This document, which is the guide for an actual grandparenting ministry at a church, can serve as a model for other churches to utilize in forming their own basis for their grandparenting ministry.
Multigen-Intergen Ministry
One of the challenges to grandparenting ministry is the mistaken, culturally driven idea that it is only for “old people”, and not relevant for the church as a whole. This can become a barrier to a thriving ministry that reaches grandparents of all ages, and indeed the whole church family. This article drives right to the heart of the issue and helps share the true picture of a healthy grandparenting ministry in the local church that is multigenerational and intergenerational.
