JH CAMP | May 24-26, 2024
JH Camp 2024 is coming--and we are SO excited for your students to participate in this life-changing camp!

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).
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.
