YOUTH
Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but show yourself as a model to those who believe in word, conduct, love, faith, and purity.
1 Timothy 4:12
Lead: Pastor Zach Turner
Elder: Tom Cox
Surge: 5th-6th
Junior Youth: 7th-8th
Senior Youth: 9th-12th
Mission: To develop a foundation rooted in God's Word with personal accountability and meaningful fellowship through the building, maintaining, and strengthening of Christ-centered relationships among the youth, their families, and the church.
Middle + High School
It is the mission of GHBC to show your teenagers where they can find absolute truth. This comes from Scripture. We gear the Youth ministry to move them from the Bible events they learn as children and from the intro to theology in Surge to understanding why they believe these truths for themselves. We engage them to think and ponder upon God and His Word in hopes that their faith is their own and not a false hope. By this we are walking alongside them as they work out their salvation and become productive members of the body.
Y2F- Youth Family Fun
We hold an evening of fun and fellowship in the Spring and Fall. These are designed to bring families back together, where youth and parents eat, fellowship, study God's Word and play games together. These events are open to all family members of youth and youth leadership.
Youth Camps
Nothing seems to grow students more than getting away together, to struggle, compete, serve, and worship God alongside each other. Each Year GHBC takes the students on a trip to fellowship and grow in Christ. It has always been the goal of GHBC to choose camps which are theologically sound and provide safe organized events. The Youth Retreat 2026, at the Williamsburg Christian Retreat Center, is open to both Jr and Sr youth along with rising 7th graders. We facilitate the teaching and activities, and it has become a great bonding experience over the years.
Recommended Resources
From time to time, we at GHBC find resources that we feel compelled to share, be they books, articles, ministries, etc. While we cannot endorse all the content contained in these resources, we believe they serve to move the church toward spiritual maturity.
