Generations Together is a one-day online conference designed to inspire and equip church leaders, volunteers, and ministry teams to build bridges across generations.
October 23, 2025
Churches are meant to be families—where young and old learn, lead, and worship together.
But in today’s fast-paced, age-divided world, intergenerational connection doesn’t happen by accident.
This interactive online conference experience features:
Genuine Ministry Meetups
where you’ll connect directly with speakers and other attendees in live chat
VIP Access
to all session recordings, exclusive digital resources, and Q&A panel with leading voices
Hosted by Dr. Christina Embree of ReFocus Ministry
Why This Conference and Why Now?
It’s a fair question. Why another conference? And why now? This was the question posed by the ReFocus Board when I (Christina) brought the idea of a virtual, one-day conference to them. And I want to share with you what I shared with them:
Generations Together will address a growing and urgent need in the global church – accessible, practical equipping for those seeking to engage in intergenerational discipleship.
While other conferences have done excellent work in this space, they only meet the biennially and primarily in-person, making participation difficult for international travelers and those with limited budgets.
Currently, there is no regular online gathering space that bring together the wide range of churches, ministries, researchers, and practitioners focused on this vital aspect of faith formation.
That’s why. Because I have had countless conversations with churches and ministers all over the world. And all of them, all of YOU, are ready to dig deeper, learn more, find friends, and connect generations. You are ready!
And now we are ready to bring that to you.
This conference is:
- affordable
- accessible
- achievable
It offers the opportunity for those who are working and researching the fundamentals of generational discipleship to share with you, right in your own home or church.
I hope that you are able to join us for this one-day, five-hour opportunity to learn, grow, and explore together. Together we will take the mission of connecting generations in meaningful relationships for lifelong discipleship forward as one.
Together,
Whether you're new to intergenerational ministry or looking to deepen what you're already doing, this conference will give you practical tools, inspiring stories, and meaningful connections to help your whole church grow—together.
