Youth

We are committed to connecting others to Christ, especially students! Our Youth Ministries challenge and encourage teens to be active members in the church and our community, while guiding them on their faith journey.

Whether you are curious or committed, we have created an awesome space for students to explore their faith alongside their peers. Come hang out and enjoy meaningful conversations, learning scripture, and playing fun games.

This event will take place from July 21st at 8PM to 8AM, at GPC.

Whats a lock in, you may be wondering? A lock in is a youth group event, for a full night of fun, games, snacks, movies, and no sleep (and of course adult supervision). We will attempt to pull all nighters (hence the "longest" night) playing board games and night games through the evening, and enjoying one another's sleep deprived company!

Do not hesitate to contact Katie if you have any questions!

Youth Group

Our two youth groups are JAM and Amplify.

Amplify, for High School students, is on Sunday evening from 6:00-7:30. Here we enjoy snacks, games, good company, and a lesson from scripture.

JAM (Jesus and Me), is for our Junior high students. JAM is on Monday evenings from 6:00-7:30. Here, similar to at Amplify, we enjoy snacks, games, friends, and learn more about God.

We welcome all to join us in learning more about Christ while nurturing beneficial, faith based, friendships.

Sunday Mornings!

On Sunday mornings after worship in the sanctuary we invite all of our middle schoolers out for Sunday school. We gather out by the fountain to meet with one of our wonderful Sunday school leaders! The first Sunday of the month, however, we have our middle and high schoolers stay in for communion Sunday.
