A guide to a transformative, interactive worship experience where every voice contributes to the sermon, creating authentic intergenerational connection and belonging.

Based on the real-world success of St. Gregory of Nyssa in San Francisco's creative interactive church community, this unique formation program reimagines the traditional sermon as an intergenerational, participatory experience. Adhering to the Revised Common Lectionary, it transforms the Liturgy of the Word into a communal exploration of scripture, which uses tactile storytelling materials, open-ended wondering questions and facilitator-guided conversations to invite participants of all ages to co-create the sermon. The book serves as a foundational theological guide with step-by-step instructions on how to implement collaborative sermons in any congregation to foster deep spiritual belonging across generations and reflect Christ’s radical hospitality.

Peter Levenstrong serves as Associate Rector at St. Gregory of Nyssa Church in San Francisco, California. He continues the parish tradition of innovation with this exploration of collaborative sermons. A graduate of Yale Divinity School, he uses his passion for creative ministries to invite congregations into deeper human relationships. He is a recognized leader in adapting ancient traditions for modern contexts, and is known for his workshops, including Intergenerate Network and FORMA. He lives in Oakland, California.
