Student ministry

Believing in and empowering the next generation.

Our middle school and high school ministry welcomes all students by providing a BRAVE space where they can experience the following:

GOSPEL CENTRALITY

PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS

THEOLOGICAL DEPTH THROUGH BIBLICAL TEACHING

ADOPTION INTO THE CHURCH FAMILY FOR THE UNSAVED

RELATIONAL DISCIPLESHIP

INTEGRATION INTO THE CHURCH

Gospel Students

Wednesday Evenings

6:15 - 8:15 PM | 6th - 12th Grade

Every Wednesday evening, our middle and high school students meet at GCC for some hang out time, games, snacks, and a Scripture study. Our lessons for teens apply Scripture studies to relevant issues for this age group. Each lesson concludes with a small group application time. Student Collective helps build needed community through a fun environment and Biblical teaching.

Discipleship

Our student ministry is committed to relational discipleship. Each adult leader is passionate about and prepared to invest in our students through discipleship relationships and partnering with parents as the student’s main disciplers. If you’d like to learn more about this type of mentorship for your teen, contact Connor Woods.
