GFBCSTUDENTS

Love God. Love People.

We strive to see students of every age discover who they are in Jesus Christ and become the world- changers they were created to be. We desire to reach and inspire our students with dynamic outreach, powerful events and relevant discipleship. With these in mind, we strive to see students in a real relationship with Jesus Christ and rooted in community with other believers.

Student ministry meets at the south campus (940 Main St.) for MDWK Service. We start at 6:30, but students are always welcome to come hangout before and after service.
What better way to grow in community than in lifegroups? Lifegroups meet each Sunday during the 10:50 AM service for a time of fellowship and discipleship. Each group is divided into smaller groups by gender and grade with at least two adult leaders.
ALL STUDENTS WILL MEET IN THE CELEBRATION ROOM BEFORE SPLITTING INTO SMALL GROUPS.
