WHAT IS NEIGHBORLY?
Generations is committed to encouraging our people to “go in the strength we have” and show the love of Jesus in practical ways to our neighbors across the street (local) and around the world (global).
We equip our people by providing tangible opportunities to Volunteer or Give on a regular basis.
Beyond the ongoing partnerships below, you’ll find additional Monthly Focus Initiatives throughout the year. When you see Neighborly Bags in the lobby, you’ll know there’s a new Focus. Just grab a bag, and there’ll be instructions inside.

GIVE TO NEIGHBORLY
Generations is committed to investing an annual amount equaling 10% or more of the funds given to our General Fund into ministry outside our walls. In addition to the Neighborly focus projects listed above, we provide hundreds of Thanksgiving meals and Christmas gifts to families in need, support the Cold Weather Shelter in Greeley, provide care, counseling and sometimes financial assistance to families in and around the communities we are located in, and provide support to pastors, church plants and mission partners through the Mountain Plains District of the Wesleyan Church.
The best way to ensure Neighborly is a success is to Volunteer and Give as requested when each Neighborly focus is given attention during the calendar year. With giving, the most flexible gift, and the gift most helpful for ensuring ongoing missionary support, is a designated gift towards “Missions Fund” from the drop-down menu at the button below.
