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 31st at 7PM to August 1st at 6AM, at GPC. This event will cost $15.

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!
