Insightful and surprising ideas offered by teens in national survey

A QUALITATIVE INVESTIGATION OF COMMON FACTORS FOUND IN THREE GENERATIONS OF
FAMILIES OF FAITH IN CHURCHES OF CHRIST

In 2012, the Intergenerational Faith Center begins work on a qualitative study of families that have three or more generations of living adult members of the Churches of Christ. This research seeks to understand how families who have successfully passed their faith on to following generations have done this.  

• What lessons can these faith families teach us about how to pass faith on to the next generation?  
• What practices do they have in common?

The principal investigators in this research are Dr. Dudley Chancey and Dr. Ron Bruner.

Families or congregations that wish to participate may contact one of the principal investigators by email. Ministers who know families that might fit the parameter of this project can refer them to the IFC as well.
