AYCF Online Community for People Engaged in Ministry to Youth and Children

Pass It On recognises the importance of children’s and youth ministry in shaping faith for the next generation. This community exists to support and encourage those who serve in this space, helping them feel resourced, connected, and sustained in their calling. There is no pressure to be an expert or to have the right words, simply an invitation to journey together, be supported, and pass on the Gospel of Jesus!

This group exists to offer:

  • Connection — a place to connect with others involved in children’s and youth ministry

  • Prayer and spiritual support — a space to pray for one another and remain grounded in God’s presence

  • Encouragement — opportunities to both give and receive encouragement, especially during busy or challenging seasons

  • Shared wisdom and stories — a place to share experiences, questions, and insights, and to learn from one another

  • Resourcing and formation — access to experienced children’s and youth ministry practitioners who support the community through shared reflections, resources, and occasional workshops that strengthen ministry practice

  • A safe and respectful environment - where people can speak honestly, listen deeply, and support one another with care and sensitivity. This is a space that honours the diversity of ministry contexts, recognising that each setting is unique. Participants are encouraged to share from their own experience with humility, offering insights as a gift to others, and receiving what is shared with openness and grace.

Intergenerational ministry

My work in intergenerational ministry has been shaped by several deeply held convictions about worship, community and faith formation. At the heart of this work is the belief that Christian community is not simply strengthened by good relationships; rather, the quality of our relationships is itself central to the proclamation of the Gospel.

I am also convinced that God is often encountered most powerfully when people of difference (including ages), experiences and perspectives are brought into genuine relationship with one another. In those encounters, the whole community has the opportunity to be shaped, challenged and transformed.

These convictions have led to a long-standing commitment to intergenerational ministry in both local and wider church contexts. I have attended the Intergenerate Conference in the United States, served for more than five years on the Intergenerate Australia and New Zealand planning team, and contributed to the Engage All Ages podcast, which encourages churches to bring the generations closer together.

Alongside this wider involvement, I bring 26 years of professional and faithful practice across diverse ministry contexts within the Anglican Church Southern Queensland. This experience includes the practical work of parish leadership, worship planning, faith formation, community engagement and change leadership. I have both experience of successful initiatives and things that did not work.

I approach intergenerational ministry not as a program to be added to church life, but as a way of reimagining how the whole community worships, learns, serves and grows together in Christ.
