    Imagining All Generations #6 - Amy Yu on Cross Cultural Ministry

    On this podcast we talk about bringing the generations together - but what does that look like in settings that sit outside a Western tradition? How can churches that cater for a specific cultural group be more intergenerational in their focus? Rev. Dr Amy Yu heads up the Next Generation ministry at Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church in Toronto, Canada. With over three decades of leadership and educational experience in trilingual churches and Christian schools, she is dedicated to fostering intergenerational faith formation and discipleship. She holds a Master of Divinity in Youth and Family Ministry from Tyndale Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry from Trinity Western Seminary, where her research focused on intergenerational ministry and spiritual formation. In addition to her pastoral role, Dr. Yu is an adjunct professor at Alliance Bible Seminary, where she teaches “Intergenerational Ministry.” She is also a sought-after speaker and trainer, regularly invited to churches and organisations to speak on topics such as intergenerational ministry, spiritual growth, and parenting the new generation.

    Imagining All Generations #7 - Valerie Grissom on Worship Gatherings

    If we have an intergenerational focus, how then should we bring our eyes, ears and hearts into our worship gatherings?  The book that we are focusing on in this season is called 'Imagining All Generations', and the chapter that addresses this question is written by Valerie Grissom. Valerie is a worship leader and pastor from the Pacific Northwest region in the USA.

Valeire also has her Master’s in Performance (Piano), and is a pianist, vocalist, choir director, and music/piano teacher.
