WHAT'S GIC ABOUT?
GenerationS Implementation Community is a practical 2-year step-by-step journey guided by the Lost to Leader framework. Learn concepts but also how to practically integrate GenerationS and Strong Church principles into your church.
Throughout the programme, achieve one or more of these outcomes:
GROWTH
Develop systems and structures to ignite church growth and build a Strong Church.
REVIVAL
See your young people revived, engaged and serving in church.
BUY-IN
Secure the support of your church and leadership to your vision.
Who is this for?
GIC is open to all European pastors and leaders.
Special shoutout if you are a Youth Pastor, church start-up, Bible School student - we warmly welcome you!
Implementation is best done as a team. But for pioneers, sometimes the team is just 1 person – yourself! That’s why we welcome both Individuals and Teams.
