The LOGOS Ministry

GenOn Ministries, previously known as The LOGOS Ministry, incorporated in 1963 in Pennsylvania, serves thousands of faith communities in more than 20 denominations. It is a Christian organization that equips faith communities and families to develop lifelong disciples of all ages. Its vision is that children, youth, adults, and families are nurtured toward lifelong Christian faith and discipleship, and communities of faith are energized and strengthened for renewed growth.
GenOn places heavy emphasis on intergenerational experiences because of the impact of cross-generational sharing of faith journeys and life-experienced wisdom on the faith development of both the young people and the adults involved.
LOGOS is GenOn's signature offering—a weekly intergenerational experience for children and/or youth that creates an intentional arena where all ages, together, can learn about, experience, and practice the art of Christian relationships. In these cross-generational gatherings, everyone eats together, plays together, studies together, and prays together. LOGOS is applicable to any church, of any size, in any culture, in any era, in any economic context, of any demographic definition.
A congregation's weekly LOGOS consists of four parts derived from Acts 2:42: Bible Study, Recreation, Family Time meal, and Worship Skills.
The goal of Bible Study is to study the Bible as the model for Christ-centered living. The goal of Recreation is to have great fun at the expense of no one else. The goal of Family Time is to experience being part of God's family over a shared meal. The goal of Worship Skills is to learn and practice ways to serve God through worship.
GenOn Ministries conducts public and contracted training events in various cities of North America, to train adults in the theology and practice of beginning and sustaining an effective LOGOS ministry in their congregations. The best practices of LOGOS can also be applied to other ministries in any church.
In addition, GenOn Ministries publishes a free family, parenting resource each month entitled Heartfelt. Heartfelt provides hundreds of resources for dealing with issues of parenting and family life.
