A Place to Belong and Become
Generations Church is a place where you are welcomed exactly as you are and loved too much to be left that way.
Sundays @ 10am
Making Christlike Disciples
At Generations Church, discipleship is not a program on a calendar. It is the heartbeat of everything we do. We are a community in Independence, KY that is deeply committed to helping people become more like Jesus, not just in what they believe, but in how they live, love, and treat the people around them.
A Christlike disciple is someone whose entire life is being shaped and reshaped by the character of Jesus, and we believe that kind of transformation is possible for every single person who walks through our doors. That is the vision we are building toward together, one life at a time.
10:00 a.m. on Sundays

Weekend Update 8/28/26
Hello Church, This Sunday is Serve Sunday—a special opportunity to discover how God can use each of us to make a difference! Whether you’re looking for a place to serve, curious about a new ministry, or simply want to learn more about the opportunities available at Generations, we invite you to come explore and find a place to get connected. We’ll also continue our Daniel: Unshaken series as we journey through Daniel 1–6. Life doesn’t always go according to plan. Unexpected changes, difficult circumstances, and uncertain seasons can leave us feeling shaken. But Daniel’s story reminds us that when our lives are rooted in God, we can remain faithful and steady—no matter what is happening around us. Together, we’ll discover what it looks like to trust God when the future is uncertain, stand firm when we’re pressured to compromise, and remain faithful in every season. Join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM for worship, and take some time to explore Serve Sunday. You never know how God might use your “yes” to make a difference in someone else’s life! We can’t wait to see you Sunday! UPCOMING EVENTS: 🎉 Student Ministry Sundays | 5:30–7:00 PM | At the Church

Students are invited to join us each Sunday evening for games, snacks, worship, biblical teaching, and meaningful friendships. Student Ministry is a place where teens can grow in their faith, build authentic relationships, and discover what it means to follow Jesus in their everyday lives. ❤️ Outreach Opportunities Through the GROW Network 📚 Become a Whiz Kids Mentor/Tutor — We Still Need 6 More Tutors! This school year, our goal is to provide 12 students with a caring, consistent mentor, and we are still looking for 6 more volunteers to help us make that possible! Reading is foundational to a child’s future success. Research shows that students who are not reading proficiently by fourth grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school. For many children, the difference isn’t ability—it’s having someone who consistently shows up to encourage them, believe in them, and help them grow. That someone could be you. As a Whiz Kids Mentor/Tutor, you’ll meet with the same student each week, helping strengthen their reading skills while building a meaningful relationship that reminds them they are seen, valued, and capable. Program Dates: September 17, 2026 – April 1, 2027
Thursdays | 3:45–6:00 PM No teaching experience is necessary. Training, curriculum, and weekly supplies are all provided. If you can read, you can tutor! All you need is a willing heart and a commitment to show up consistently. One afternoon a week. One student. One relationship that can make a lasting difference.

August 9, 2027 Weekend Update This is your one-stop spot for everything happening in our church family. From kids to adults, small groups to special events, here's how you can get connected over the next seven days. Hello Church, What does it truly mean to follow Jesus? Following Jesus isn't simply about believing the right things—it's about allowing Him to shape the way we think, love, serve, and live each day. As we spend time with Him, He transforms us from the inside out, helping us reflect His heart in our relationships, our choices, and the way we love others. The Christian life isn't about striving to change ourselves; it's about surrendering to the One who changes us. This Sunday, we'll continue our Follow Me series as we discover that discipleship is a lifelong journey of transformation. Together, we'll explore how God uses His Word, His Spirit, and authentic community to help us grow into the people He created us to be. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or have been following Jesus for many years, we'd love for you to join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM.

Weekend Update August 2nd
Welcome to the Weekend Update 👋 This is your one-stop spot for everything happening in our church family. From kids to adults, small groups to special events, here's how you can get connected over the next seven days. Hello Church, What does it truly mean to follow Jesus? Jesus' invitation has always been simple, yet life-changing: "Follow Me."He doesn't call us to merely know more about Him or simply attend church—He invites us into a relationship that transforms every part of our lives. As we walk with Him, He shapes our hearts, renews our minds, and teaches us to live in His ways each day. This Sunday, we'll continue our Follow Me series as we discover that discipleship is about more than gaining biblical knowledge—it's about allowing Jesus to transform us from the inside out. Together, we'll explore how spiritual growth happens as we follow Christ and walk alongside one another in authentic, life-giving community. Whether you're taking your very first steps of faith or you've been following Jesus for many years, we'd love for you to join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM. There's a place for you, and we can't wait to worship with you! Upcoming Events & Opportunities

Weekend Update July 26th
Welcome to the Weekend Update 👋 This is your one-stop spot for everything happening in our church family. From kids to adults, small groups to special events, here's how you can get connected over the next seven days. What does it really mean to follow Jesus? Jesus never invited people to simply believe a set of truths or attend religious gatherings. His invitation was far greater: "Follow Me." It's an invitation into a daily relationship that transforms our hearts, reshapes our priorities, and changes the way we live. Following Jesus is more than a one-time decision—it's a lifelong journey of becoming more like Him. This Sunday, we'll continue our Follow Me series as we discover that discipleship is more than information—it's transformation. Together, we'll explore what it looks like to follow Jesus in our everyday lives and how God uses authentic community to help us grow in our faith. Whether you've been following Jesus for years or are just beginning to explore faith, there's a place for you. We'd love to welcome you this Sunday at 10:00 AM!
