Some pastors read about churches that consist mostly of a single demographic category (like young suburban couples) and recognize their own churches (with a mix of generations from babies to seniors) are sharply different. Howard Vanderwell has brought together a team of writers to produce
The Church of All Ages (Alban Institute), which offers help to those who design worship for multi-generational congregations. A majority of contributors are from the Christian Reformed family, but with a mix of other denominations represented, and they offer many helpful insights for leaders in more traditional churches.
