GSYOUTH EVENTS

Mission Trips

As followers of Christ, we believe that we are to serve others. Mission work is at the heart of serving Christ, but mission work is not just going on a trip, it’s a way of living every day.  We deeply value relationships, and living missional lives means that God sends us out into relationship with others. We don’t serve with the intent to help but to truly serve through connecting with others. This is at the heart of gsYouth missions.
The next mission trip is scheduled for the summer of 2024!

Registration is determined by Youthworks.

The next mission trip is scheduled for June 19-25, 2022 in Nashville, Tennessee! Nashville is a large urban town and is a hub for music, art and good food. Due to the high population density, there is a housing scarcity, and many people find themselves houseless. While learning about the struggles of fighting a housing crisis in the middle of a large urban area, students will work alongside food pantries, elderly, summer children's programs and community gardens to meet the needs of the area. To sign up for this event, a $50 deposit will need to be given to Becca Boren by Nov. 6th.

Confirmation

The journey of faith is a life-long process. It’s not something we graduate from or complete. Throughout that journey are milestones where we recognize & respond to the saving grace of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit that equips us for the journey. Confirmation is one of those significant milestones. When youth are confirmed, they profess their faith in Jesus Christ and commit to continuing to grow in that faith for the rest of their lives.

Youth in 8th–12th grade are eligible for confirmation. To prepare, youth meet in weekly groups for several months. We seek to provide an atmosphere of listening, support and encouragement. We want youth to know that their faith journey and their story are truly unique. Both have tremendous importance. We try to keep class sizes small to encourage relationship-building & learning.
