When Does GCC Students Meet?

Wednesdays | 6:30-8:15pm

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.
