The multi-generational church is complicated. Paul says to us through Titus that the church has all kinds of differences within it; age, social status and gender to name three. But there are more, and these are often undervalued, missed or overlooked with the usual responses; hurt, misunderstanding and fatigue. First, the people in a generational church don't start attending the church with the same backgrounds. Frankly, we have come from different places, with many different experiences that have shaped us, wounded us, and made teaming together a challenge. Secondly, rarely are all of us in the same development zone. There are many layers of spiritual, social and life development going on throughout the multi-generational church. But in the multi-generational church, under God's design, leadership has huge advantage. He gifts it with strength, variety, diversity and opportunity that single generational churches can't match. God has given us huge benefits that Titus challenges us to accept and use for God's glory.
