I. Are you committed to any one Denomination?
No, to reach next generation (NextGen) loved ones, we must raise and equip a mission force of millions of evangelical grandparents. Our vision and mission are too big to limit ourselves to any single denomination. We need to partner with fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ and Bible-believing churches of all denominations.
II. What is Legacy Imperative’s faith perspective?
Our Statement of Faith can be found on our website. Our staff, board members, and small group leaders must subscribe to its precepts. Other than that, our staff, board, and missionaries to the NextGens are involved in a wide array of evangelical churches.
III. Will you respect the doctrinal distinctives that make our church unique?
We will not deviate from our Faith Statement. Those with whom we partner should be comfortable with that reality. Beyond that, we do not promote or teach anything that touches on issues that divide Bible-believing Christians, such as church policy, eschatology, baptism, spiritual gifts, worship styles, etc. In our planning with each local church, we will ensure that we understand the unique ethos of that congregation and tailor our presentation accordingly.
IV. Is there a principle that guides Legacy Imperative on doctrinal issues?
We are single-focused: to operate according to the Great Commandment [John 13:34&35] to fulfill the Great Commission [Matthew 28:16-20], particularly to mobilize grandparents to disciple their grandchildren. We won’t get bogged down in those theological disputes that are not central to our mission, vision, and statement of faith. This is our credo when it comes to doctrinal issues: In essentials, unity. In non-essentials liberty. In all things, charity.
V. Where do you stand on the cultural/political wars that have divided churches?
While Legacy Imperative believes that the cultural issues of our day are important and remains cognizant of them, our ultimate battle is for the hearts and minds of our NextGen kids. We are not so concerned about making America great for our children, as we are in forging great children for a better America and world.
We believe that fighting the culture and political wars has sidetracked evangelicals from doing the work that can bring about another spiritual awakening. We believe that grandparents can spark such an awakening. On the other hand, if we have reached the tipping point, we must prepare our children and grandkids to stand strong in dark days ahead.
It matters little who’s in the White House, statehouse, courthouse, schoolhouse, or Houses of Congress, if we lose our moral compass in the church house or in our houses. To paraphrase Jesus, what should it profit us if we win the culture wars, only to see our children or grandchildren lose their souls? At Legacy Imperative, we take seriously the words of St. Paul: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of darkness in unseen realms.” [Ephesians 6:12&13]

VI. Is Legacy Imperative sensitive to the racial, ethnic divides in evangelicalism?
It is our intention not only to reach across denominational divides, but to partner with churches of differing racial, ethnic, and cultural makeups. We are sensitive to both the history and current realities that have brought about significant racial, social, political, and generational divides in America. We believe that all Christians in every community are facing a seismic crisis when it comes to losing their NextGen children and grandkids to the seductions of media, academia, and many other voices in our postmodern, secular culture.

We are committed to building a team and board that is generationally and racially diverse, so that we might remain on the cutting edge of societal changes. Our Legacy Imperative team and board are a combination of young warriors and seasoned veterans. We intentionally craft our films, social media, podcasts, tools, and events to communicate to as wide an audience as possible.

VII. Can we adjust your training materials to fit our unique church perspectives?
Absolutely. All Legacy Imperative resources are designed to be flexible and easily adapted to your church’s unique doctrine, culture, and teaching style. You can use our videos, study guides, and small-group materials as they are—or customize the discussions and applications to best serve your congregation.
Our heart is to come alongside your church to help grandparents and older believers re-engage their faith, build Gospel bridges to their children and grandchildren, and inspire the next generation to follow Jesus. As we say at Legacy Imperative: it’s time to re-fire, not retire.
