UPCOMING DATES

HS Winter Retreat | Feb 27 - Mar 1, 2026

High School Students--join us for this personal and deep retreat in snowy (hopefully!) Pine, AZ. We will travel up on Friday, February 27th and return Sunday, March 1, 2026. We're joining one other church (Cross of Christ) and plan to have around 20 people total, so we'll have a lot of fun really getting to know each other and experiencing adventure together, as well as taking deeper dives into Scripture and study.

HS Summer Camp | June 27 - July 2, 2026

We're joining together with a couple of AZ churches to head to Estes Park, Colorado for a week of worship, Bible study, fun experiences, and unique memories, all at the feet of the Rocky Mountains! Come join us June 27-July 2 as we go on this awesome adventure together. Open to students currently in grades 8-12.

VISION

Our vision for GC Students: take Jesus into the world.

With everything we do at GC Students, we are asking this crucial question: “How are we helping these students take Jesus into their world (context) and everyday lives?”

FLOW

We keep this flow relatively consistent across all our programming because it works well and it facilitates easier transitions between different levels of ministry, for kids, students, and volunteers.
We follow an ACTIVE > LARGE GROUP > SMALL GROUPS flow (see below).

GC Students Rotation Model

Each week, we structure our Active time together around one of these themes:

SERVE

Engage in a project to help people in our community and church.

INVITE

Events that make it easy to invite friends to like Turkey Bowling or a campus-wide game of capture the flag.

PRAY

Set aside time to be guided through worship and prayer with special experiences and helpful new practices.

TEACH

Study at a deeper level and start your week with a more thorough understanding of the intersection of faith and life.
