The church has ample parking in the front and back of the church. Since access is only available through the front doors of the foyer, we recommend parking in the large lot in front of the church for easy access. Handicap spots are available near the doors, and a large overflow gravel lot is available in the front as well.

Who is the youth group for?

Youth group is for students from the church and community in grades 6th-12th. You do not need to attend the church to attend youth group, but we would love to see you Sunday!

When does youth group take place?

Youth group takes place on Wednesday nights from 6:30pm-8:15pm throughout the entire year. Youth group occurs simultaneously with Awana, and the men's and women's Bible studies. Youth Sunday school also takes place every Sunday during 2nd service.

Yes! The middle school and high school go on small outings throughout the year broken up by gender and age group, and several times throughout the year the youth group attends fun events like whitewater rafting, Mariners baseball, and bowling.

Do teens learn the Bible in youth group?

Yes. Youth group is a lot of fun, but it's also a time of challenging teaching from God's Word. We believe that middle schoolers and high schoolers need Scripture just as much as adults. Our Wednesday and Sunday programs feature verse-by-verse teaching from the Bible.

About

Training teens to become adults who love the Lord

It's a tough time to be a teen! In a season when middle schoolers and high schoolers naturally begin evaluating ideas for themselves, the world does all it can to drown them with falsehoods.

‍

Because of this, teens need to be encouraged, and to know that church is a place for them too. Youth ministry is not designed as a replacement of church, but an extension of the church's mission to glorify God and make disciples.

‍

Youth group is a lot of fun too! Every Wednesday night is full of games, hangout time, worship, small group discussion, and deep teaching from God's Word applied to the lives of teens. In addition to youth Sunday school, and camps and events throughout the year, youth ministry at GEBC is an awesome chance for your teens to be disciples with the Word of God by mature and loving adult believers.

Deep Teaching and Discipleship

Youth group is not watered down. It features rich teaching that has been well-prepared by our youth director Isaac, followed by intentional small group time led with pointed questions from qualified youth leaders.
