Youth

As with all ministries, the youth ministry exists primarily to glorify God. The goal of the youth ministry is to shape maturing teens into young adults who love and worship Jesus Christ, by providing contexts for them to experience, apply, and proclaim the glorious gospel.

To facilitate the training of the youth, parents are equipped to effectively disciple their teens, with the help of the church community. Rather than parents abdicating their role to the youth pastor, parents are encouraged to be heavily involved in all youth activities and to be the primary means of grace in their children's lives.

With strong parental involvement, under the direction of effective biblical leadership, we have seen God's faithfulness in revealing himself to many of the youth, as they have recognized their need for a Savior. the fruit has been abundant as we've seen many of the youth assume their place as vital members of the church community, serving alongside the adults. The youth are seeing GCC as their own church, not simply one they attend with their parents.
