A new name for a generation

RedemptiveGeneration

What we believe

Everyone is talking about this generation.
We believe in them.

Pundits diagnose them. Marketers target them. Politicians court them. Parents worry about them. There is no shortage of opinions about what is wrong with Gen Z.

What is missing is anyone treating them like they have answers. Like they can do hard things. Like they can lead whether they are believed in or not. We do.

Redemptive

The generation that takes ownership of what it inherited, brings beauty, restores what is broken, and leads with character.

The flagship formation experience

LeapYear

LeapYear is the flagship formation experience of Redemptive Generation: a nine-month, in-person program for young adults navigating the transition between high school and what comes next.

“I went from someone who was depressed, anxious, lost, and totally stuck to someone who found joy, is motivated about the future, and has grown to love people and love God.”
