Abstract

Given the challenges of young people leaving the Christian faith, this research sought to explore the effects of intergenerational ministry on the transmission of the Christian faith to the next generation of Korean immigrant churches in the United States. A total of 35 participants (primary sample: 17 young adults; subsamples: nine parents and nine pastors) participated in semi-structured in-depth interviews. Results from this study generated nine themes revealing factors and effects of intergenerational ministry.
