Youth
Build Lasting Relationships.
The GYG is a place where there is an opportunity to build lasting relationships. We are a group of over 100 teenagers who enjoy spending time together. There are plenty of ways to get plugged in and connected. Whether it’s a devotional, a retreat, or a service project - there are many opportunities for your teenager to find his/her place in the youth group. Spending time with other teens talking and thinking about spiritual things leads to deep, meaningful relationships.
Grow Closer to God.
We have in-depth Bible classes on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. There are over 20 adults who teach in the youth program. This allows for the students to be exposed to multiple teaching styles and connect with different adults who love to see students grow. Students are also challenged through retreats, camps, Lads to Leaders, and other events. We encourage students to grow closer to God. We want them to be ready and able to defend their faith. The hope is that they have the knowledge and the skills to not only know what they believe and why they believe it, but that they are able to share their faith with those around them.
Find Opportunities to Serve.
Find opportunities to serve with the GYG. For teenagers, there are service projects, mission trips, and teen led worship services. We also have many opportunities for parents who want to help out. Come sit in on a class, provide food at a devotional, help serve at a youth rally, drive a bus, teach, chaperone an event, or just spend time building relationships with the students. The students love connecting with different adults and parents who care about them!
Prepare for a Lifetime of Faithful Living.
Our hope is that when your teenager graduates from high school they are prepared for a lifetime of faith. Being a Christian is difficult. It’s tough facing the pressures of an everyday life in a selfish world. We want to help families prepare students in Jr. High and Sr. High to live a life for Christ each day. We want them to enjoy being a part of the church and see the value in being an active part of a Christian community.
The Germantown Youth seek to know God and to make Him known. We want you to come and be a part of what's happening. Whether it's a devotional, a retreat, or even a group hug - there's a place for you!
