What is the 42nd Generation about?

42nd Generation is a youth ministry committed to sharing God’s Kingdom message and living Christ-centred lives. We pursue maturity as sons and daughters of God, walking daily with Him as He forms His identity within us and establishes us in our calling. Our heart is to see His Kingdom expressed on earth as we grow, serve, and faithfully represent Him. Our name comes from the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1, which is arranged in three groups of fourteen generations. While the list names forty-one generations, we understand the reference to Christ as the beginning of a new generation — a people brought to life in Him. The “42nd Generation” represents those born of God through Christ, united as His body and called to inherit and advance His Kingdom. We believe this generation is drawn from every nation and age — a people chosen by grace, shaped into the image of the Son, and commissioned to restore, overcome, and reveal God’s heart in the world.
