Elevate Youth: Growing in Faith and Purpose
Building a Christ-centered community through discipleship, meaningful experiences, and genuine fellowship.
Elevate Youth
Join our youth group and grow in faith and friendship! We welcome 6th–12th graders from our church and community to gather weekly during the school year. Through small group discipleship, impactful large group sessions, and discussions on real-life issues, students will deepen their understanding of Jesus and how faith shapes their daily lives. Engaging games and icebreakers set the stage for worship and a Christ-centered message, followed by grade-specific small groups that encourage meaningful connections. And of course, there’s always snacks!
Middle School Meet-Up
During second service on Sundays, middle schoolers (grades 6–8) gather for engaging, faith-centered activities designed to help them grow in their relationship with God and connect with peers and leaders.
Camps, Retreats, and Missions Trips
We aim to empower youth to flourish in their faith by engaging them in transformative experiences that deepen their relationship with God. Our camps, retreats, and mission trips build confidence, inspire spiritual growth, and foster a closer connection with the Holy Spirit. Download the GCC app, follow us on Instagram @elevateyouthgcc, and request to be added to the email list to stay up to date on these events.
