What is Generation Change?

Generation Change is a Bible study designed to lead teens to a better understanding of God, themselves and their money—and how it all works together. In the three individual three-week teaching series, students are equipped with biblical principles to BE who God created them to be, DO more with their money, and GO out into the world ready to write their story.

The class can be led in three separate three-week studies or combined into a nine-week study through all three series consecutively.
