The youth ministry at Gospel Community Church assists parents by partnering with them in their God - given role of teaching and training their children to, know God, cultivate Christ-likeness, apply scriptural truth to daily life, and serve God and others.


Know God

  • God longs for people to know Him (Hosea 6:6).

  •  God has revealed Himself to us through creation (Romans 1:20), the Person of Jesus Christ 

          (John 1:14), and His infallible Word.

  • Our desire is that our teens not only have knowledge in their minds about God, but also know 

          God in their heart, and have a relationship with Jesus Christ (Jeremiah 9:23-24).


Cultivate Christ-Likeness

  • This is the God-ordained goal for each of His children (Romans 8:29).

  • This can only take place as we abide in Him (John 15:4).

  • Our desire is to help our teens act and think like God wants them to act and think (Philippians2:5).


Apply Scriptural Truth to Daily Life

  • It is the source for true happiness and wise decision-making (John 13:17; 2 Timothy 3:15).

  • Failure to heed it has devastating consequences (Matthew 7:24-27).

  • Our desire is to see our teens obey God and enjoy His blessing (Joshua 1:8).


Serve God and Others

  • This focus conquers the natural self-centeredness of our age (Philippians 2:20-21).

  • This is a distinguishing mark of leadership (Matthew 20:26-27).

  • Our desire is that God would develop a servant's heart in our teens (Luke 22:27).


We intend to impart this training through easily to apply teaching, praise & worship, community service targeted

through short-term missions and special events just as retreats and youth service nights. 

We get together every Wednesday evening from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.
