RefreshingYouthCampSummer Youth Retreat "Refuel!"
One thing we know is that when we are run-ning on empty; physically, emotionally and spiritually, all of us need to refuel. There are always things in our life which are draining us, challenging us and wearing us down. And when you get to that point, you have a choice of what you’re going to do. Join us as we come together and “REFUEL." Bring a friend so they can relax and refuel with you! Click here for registration brochure.


FiredUpJr. High Youth Ministry
In the famous story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego we see the resilient stand of three youth in the midst of severe threats and persecution as they are put into the fire. Does your passion so burn for God that you will stand your ground? Now is the time to get FIRED UP!  Come join us at 6:30 pm each Wednesday at The Warehouse for an action-filled night!

 

FrontLineSr High Youth Ministry-
Many say…”Why should I risk my popularity?  I’m saved.  I’m on my way to heaven.  Give me one good reason why I should give up my free time to serve God”.  The Truth is, it’s time to take a stand; we have too much at stake not to be outspoken.  We have too much at stake not to be fighting on the Front Line!  Come join us Wednesdays at 6:30 pm at Common Grounds Café.

Vision of GCCC Youth-

To raise up a generation set apart, with hearts seeking God, fulfilling their God-created purposes, ready to step into the world

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2a (NIV)

Core Values-

  1. Speaking Life - We are committed to building up those around us, speaking truth and refusing to accept lies (James 3 NIV, Proverbs 15:4 NIV)
  2. Purpose - We believe God has created each one of us with a specific destiny and His plans are good for us. With His help, we can achieve the impossible. (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)
  3. Integrity - We are who we say we are, and we strive to do the right thing, regardless of our image, circumstances or earthly desires. Psalms 15:2-6 (MSG)
  4. Respect - We will honor all peers and leaders by actively listening to their thoughts, ideas and opinions, and we will honor the authority of our leaders. (I Peter 2:17 NIV)
  5. Safety - This is a safe and fun place created on the basis of structure and boundaries.
  6. Salvation - We believe that the only way to Heaven is through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Who brings life for today and hope for tomorrow. (John 14:6 NIV)

Bill Hostler- Sunday Morning Youth Teacher

Bill Hostler, YouthMy heart for the youth... the potential that lies within each of these young men and women is immeasurable. God has a unique destiny and path for each one of them. As it is with some things in life, this calling is not based on age. Our youth house the same Holy Spirit that we are supposed to be carrying. It is my desire to teach them three things. The first is how to hear God's voice. The scriptures say that His sheep shall know His voice. We can learn to recognize the voice of our Creator. As we walk through life, we begin to realize the purposes of God for us. Second is for these young people to discover the plans of God for their lives. Thirdly, there is an enemy that wants nothing more than to see us fail. I desire to impart to them the ability to recognize that we are in a war where their hearts are at stake. I want to see them live triumphantly. I want them to fight the enemy wherever he may be found. The gates of hell will not prevail.
