GH Students is our Youth Ministry for students in 6th - 12th grade. 

Our goal is to provide an opportunity for students to have fun, worship God, and hear bold content from the Bible that speaks to their phase of life. We want every student to know God for themselves and be a part of a real and life-giving community.

If you're looking to find friends, grow in your walk with God together, and have a ton fun, come out and join us!

Core Values for GH Students

A smiling young woman with wet hair and braces is being supported by a man in a baptismal font in front of a modern, purple-lit geometric wall.

We believe every student can have a real relationship with God and walk with Him all the days of their life. We don’t believe it is inevitable for every student to walk through a prodigal season.

We believe that students can be led and empowered by God. There is no junior Holy Spirit.

What to Expect

GH Students meets every week on Wednesday nights from 6:30-7:45pm at the church building. 

Most Wednesdays look a little like this:

A group of kids and adults play a game on a lawn. A boy reaches up to place a red ball into a colorful yellow and pink grid structure above their heads.

Games

Get ready for fun, engaging games that help break the ice and build relationships. We always make time for 9-Square before service starts.

Small Groups

Students are sorted into age-appropriate groups and discuss the provided questions related to the lesson.

Practical Teaching

We teach sermons from the Bible that intentionally speak to the students’ stage of life and what they’re really walking through.

Students aren’t just part of our church on Wednesdays; they’re engaged in every part of our church body. You can find them on Sundays attending service, but also serving in almost every area of the church, building it up.
