Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8
Our student ministry’s goal this year is to encourage students to spend one week on mission. That is 168 hours of the entire year spent serving. Whether that is a mission trip through our student ministry or church, serving in the community or serving locally at our church, we want you to serve “here, there and everywhere.”
HERE
There are plenty of ways to serve at our church through VBS, nursery, serving at banquets, outreach ministry, Operation Christmas Child and more. Stay in the know about serve opportunities at GFBC by joining our Serve Crew. This will be our first point of contact when there is a serve opportunity or volunteer need.

It is just as important to share the love of Jesus in our church and across the world, but what about right across the street? What about at your school? Maybe your elderly neighbor needs their grass cut or the single mom down the street needs a free babysitter. We want you to intentionally love on this city.
EVERYWHERE
Our student ministry will be taking multiple mission trips this year. Registration for these trips will open on October 19th.

ALL IN - MDWK Series
We will begin the semester on September 3rd with our “ALL [IN]” series. This is a three-week series about being “all in” for Jesus all month, all week and all day.
TAKE THE TOWEL
Students will receive a towel at the beginning of the fall semester at MDWK. This towel is meant to travel with you wherever you are serving. At the end of the year, your towel should be dirty.
INK + IRON
Ink and Iron is a pop-up shop from students for students to help raise money for any church mission trip, camp or retreat. We will open the shop the first Wednesday night of every month at the south campus. Reach out to any student team member to be a part of the next Ink + Iron.
