Discovering Intergenerational Church

At St Paul’s, we are on a journey to become a fully intergenerational church—one where people of all ages worship, serve, learn, and grow together.

Our aim is to intentionally bring generations into shared spaces and shared experiences, strengthening relationships and nurturing faith across the whole church family.

By weaving intergenerational worship, learning, and community into the core of our church life, we hope to build a community where every age is valued, every voice is heard, and every person belongs.

Our Onward Journey

Towards Intergenerational Church

To help us think, pray, and plan our way through this journey, we have created a series of carousels. These act as a visual guide to our thinking and intentions, helping us explore the possibilities and potential of becoming an intentionally intergenerational church.

Carousel 3 – Intergenerational by Design
An exploration of how intergenerational community is rooted in our human makeup and woven into the story of God’s people.

Carousel 4 – The Roadmap
A practical step‑by‑step process to help guide us as we begin putting these ideas into action.

Carousel 5 – Imagining Possibilities
A resource to spark ideas for how this vision can flourish within a Eucharistic church with a strong choral tradition like ours.
