We strive to disciple our young people in their faith, connect them to the Church, equip them for their Christian walk and ultimately draw them more and more into a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Discipleship Groups

Sundays 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the Education Building

In D-Groups we seek to train up men and women in the knowledge of the grace and forgiveness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of the One True God. This is accomplished through Godly, Christ-like examples of older, mature Christian men and women in the church. The goal for this time is for difficult questions to be asked and answered, faith explored, and our relationship with Christ and one another deepened. Dinner is served around 6:15pm, we sing for a bit around 6:45pm and the actual D-Group time begins at 7:00pm. Everything usually wraps up by 8:00pm with lots of time of fun and fellowship as well!

Ministry Opportunities

Volunteers

  • The Student Ministry at GARP is always looking for congregational involvement in the nurture and admonition of its young people. You will find that working with middle and high school students, while challenging, is always rewarding.
