At any point in history, four generations have coexisted in our culture. Today, we have Builders, Boomers, Gen X’ers and Gen Y’ers, with Generation Net already rising on the horizon. For years the church growth movement has suggested a two-fold strategy, target a specific generational group for your ministry and then plant new churches to reach other generations. HDC’s strategy is to provide ministries to a variety of communities, all on the same campus, each targeting specific generational groups. HDC currently serves three generations.
