2015 3Generate Participants. Photo courtesy of the Methodist Church in Britain.
This year’s 3Generate took place in November at PGL Liddington Adventure Centre, Swindon, [England, UK] where nearly 600 young Methodists aged 8-23 gathered together to worship, learn and make decisions that will affect the life of the wider Methodist Church [in Britain].
This year’s event was a sold-out success, which saw more than double the amount of young people and youth leaders attend compared to last year.
Highlights from the event included a variety of topical workshops, indoor and outdoor activities, debates and campaigns work. New additions this year included a specially commissioned slam poetry session, club-style worship and zip wires.
Drawing breath after a packed weekend, the Methodist Youth President Craig Gaffney said, “It’s always amazing to interact with other young Christians and other young Methodists in particular. There was a lot of really cool stuff going on this year with the Silent Disco, Club Worship, Gospel Choirs… We really mixed up the worship and social formats that we’ve had in the past, which gave this year’s 3Generate a new feel and a vibe with lots of new exciting features.”
