Student Ministries

High school and Middle school students meet together Sunday mornings on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. All students meet Sunday nights from 6:30-9PM at GCC. We eat dinner together, play games, study God’s word, and end in small group time. However, in the summer student groups meet less frequently and have more events. Please see the schedules below for details.

A monthly schedule for Crossroads and Impact is available to view below. You can also sign up for Remind Texts to get notifications for our schedule and weekly meetings. Contact Mitch for details.

For Student Remind Notifications, text “@gccstu2024” to 81010

crossroads
(Grades 6-8)

Crossroads meets the first 3 Sunday nights of every month from 6:30-9PM, and every 2nd and 4th Sunday morning.

Crossroads is a great time for students to develop real friendships with one another as we try to love God more each day. Crossroads is where Students start to make their faith their own.

impact
(Grades 9-12)

Impact meets first 3 Sunday nights of every month from 6:30-9PM, and every 2nd and 4th Sunday morning.

Impact is the final step of Next Generation Ministries. Students are encouraged to think deeper about Christ and what a life of discipleship truly means for them. We hope to equip your students for a life post school.

Pray for Me Campaign

One of the values we hold to here at GCC is a desire to be an inter-generational community. We recognize that it is our responsibility to pass down the truth of the Gospel to our children and students, while also recognizing that their discipleship and contributions are not just for the future, but are vital now. One of the ways we are seeking to cultivate that culture, is through our Pray For Me Campaign to pair each of our students from 1st-12th grade up with an individual in our church to commit to praying daily for them for the school year. If you would like to sign up to pray for one of our students, please sign up below. Contact Pat Fuelling as needed.

Student Dinners

To foster even deeper fellowship and community, we are excited to continue having meals together every Sunday evening as a student group. This would not be possible without your investment, so thank you very much for being willing to serve our students in this way!

Here are a few things to know before you sign up to provide a dinner:

  • Plan to make food for 13-15 people.

  • We are scheduled to start eating at 6:30 pm.

  • You can come to the church early and use our kitchen and supplies to make food, or prepare the food at your home and bring it.

  • If you would like to serve the students by making a meal, but don’t have it in your budget, please give your receipts to me and the church will reimburse you.

  • Feel free to sit down and eat with us if you would like!

  • Some great meal options are; pasta, deli sandwiches, chili, pulled pork/chicken, sloppy joes. walking tacos, mac n’ cheese & hot dogs, grilled cheese & tomato soup, or burgers.
