What makes Next Gen unique is that it’s a ministry within our church, not apart from it. From toddlers to teens, we minister our youth with the understanding that Cornerstone is one church made up of many generations. Our Christ-centered curriculum helps kids mature in faith to become adult members of a loving church body. They learn to make a positive impact in the world by discovering their gifts and using them to serve and love others. Additionally, seniors bestow their loving wisdom and support to bless generations of Christ-followers to come.
The programs and resources listed below are paramount in mentoring our youth as they prepare to lead the Church of tomorrow. Next Gen welcomes and encourages volunteering. If you would like to serve in a ministry that's as important as it is fun, please contact Kent Hawkins at kent@ccvero.org.
