Youth

Making an impact by nurturing faith and sending students into the world to share Christ’s love.
We believe that youth ministry is about more than programs—it’s about belonging, spiritual growth, and making a difference. At GBPC, we walk alongside our students as they come to know God's love, discover their gifts, and learn to share that love with others.
