GSM
7th – 12th Grade
Mission: To equip students to be Empowered Leaders and Kingdom Workers in their sphere of influence for Christ.
GSM is our ministry for 7th–12th grade students. Our goal is to partner with parents to disciple students into gospel maturity—helping them know Jesus, grow in their faith, and live it out in everyday life.
GSM runs on two key rhythms: Life Groups and Youth Group.
Life Groups – 1st & 3rd Wednesdays, 6:30–8:30pm
Life Groups are grade-based and gender-based for deeper connection. During the school year, both boys and girls Life Groups are the broken down as following: 7th, 8th, 9th & 11th, 10th & 12th. These nights are designed for:
- Intentional discipleship
- Vulnerable accountability
- Relational connection and fun
- A space to invite friends ready to dig into Scripture
We welcome every student as they are—and challenge them to leave more like Christ than when they arrived.
Youth Group – 2nd & 4th Wednesdays, 6:30–8:45pm
Doors open at 5:30pm for hangout time and activities. The night includes games, worship, a sermon, small groups, and snacks. Youth Group is designed for:
- Fun with a Gospel centered purpose
- Cross-grade, cross-gender community
- A high-energy night invite opportunity for friends
- A rallying point from the stage through song and sermon
In everything we do, our aim is the same: students loving the ONE God, loving the ONE church, and seeking the ONE lost.
Events
Beyond our regular gatherings, we host conferences, retreats, service projects, and special events like our semi-formal Christmas party, all-nighter, and slip ’n slide kickball. Every event serves a purpose:
- Breaking down walls
- Building fun and community
- Giving space for students to use their God-given gifts
- Creating lifelong memories
If it doesn’t align with our mission, we don’t do it.
