"Three things will last forever – faith, hope, and love – and the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13:13
GC Students is our Youth Ministry at FBC Garden City for Middle and High School Students (6th - 12th Grade). Our goal is to help teenagers get to know Jesus and grow as His disciples through these years, when so many things are changing and can be difficult. By offering regular weekly activities and planned events throughout the year, GC Students provides opportunities to have fun and build friendships while growing in faith!
Each week, you're invited to join us for:
- Sunday School: At 10:00am on Sundays in the Youth Room in Building C, you can join us for a great time of Bible study. You'll be able to engage in authentic and important discussions while digging into God's Word.
- Wednesday Night Midweek: Wednesday nights at 6:00pm in the Youth Room are a time for fellowship, Bible study and fun! Together, we’ll explore a wide range of topics and discussion, as well as plenty of fun, games, and activities.
- Youth Growth Group: During Growth Group semesters (three seasons a year), this group meets in a home on Sunday evenings goes through a study selected specifically for the challenges you're facing during this stage of life. You'll enjoy a meal together, play some games, and grow closer to each other as you grow closer to Jesus.
