Nebraska Synod ELCA
The Growing God’s Generous Generations (4G) Network of the Nebraska Synod equips congregations and households to grow disciples of all ages who reflect God’s abundant generosity.
The work of the 4G Network is inspired and informed by The Generosity Project curriculum produced and distributed by the ELCA.
The Generosity Project is an intergenerational, household-focused approach to stewardship. Its goals are to connect generations, create centers for the faith practice of generosity, and grow in God’s grace generation to generation.
