More about Generation Church

Church Overview: Generation Church is an expanding multi-site church that’s been rapidly growing since its inception in 2014. We were named one of the Top 100 Fastest Growing Churches by Lifeway Research and Outreach Magazine for 7 years in a row and were the fastest-growing church in Arizona for two of those years. We are affiliated with the Assemblies of God and function like a non-denominational, Spirit-filled church. We are in an ongoing hiring process to keep up with the church’s growth.

The Greater Phoenix Area: Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing communities in America and one of the top destinations for movers. People want to live here. The desert environment is stunning with low humidity, beautiful winters, hot summers, and moderate fall and spring seasons. New houses are being built everywhere constantly. We have highly rated school districts and lots of charter school options for parents. Every type of shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunity exists in the valley and all kinds of outdoor and sporting options are available locally. In Phoenix, you’re a 3-hour drive from the mountains and a 5.5-hour drive from the CA beach.

GC has been constantly growing with a high level of invitation and evangelism. Our growth has accelerated since the beginning of 2020. New members commonly describe the church as “loving and alive, with bold biblical teaching, and Spirit-filled passionate worship.”

Our current unique areas of strength:

  • Bold biblical preaching that challenges with grace and truth. Experienced Christians gain fresh insight and new Christians can follow and grow too. We give an invitation to accept Jesus as Lord almost every service each week.
  • Expressive and passionate worship ministry that moves people into God’s presence.
  • “Generation Worship” is writing original music and attracting people who want to be a part of a church body that engages in worship as much as the people on stage.
  • Phenomenal NextGen ministry. “gKids” and “GEN YTH” students actually WANT to go to church here. They grow to love the Lord and His Church. We’re raising lifelong followers of Jesus.
  • Top-level men’s and women’s ministry. “Bold Men” is here to help our Men at GC become the men of God they were made to be! “Beautiful Girl” is thriving and reaching women of all ages.
  • Chapel services. We create space for older saints who desire a softer worship environment. We want to honor those who sacrificed to build the Kingdom and serve them with love.
  • A spirit of excellence. We seek to do everything in a way that glorifies God.
  • Innovative creative and media departments. We want the look and feel of what we do to communicate who we are.
  • A Family vibe. We view the church as a family and our church staff as a ministry family. It’s not a job, it’s a calling. We love each other and enjoy being together. We value chemistry on our teams. We value staff kids and go out of our way to love and protect them.
