THE WHY

We believe that beginnings are super important.

The beginning to a new school year, the beginning of a new ministry, sets the tone and expectation for the way forward. This is why we LAUNCH together each August.

LAUNCH is an intentional time set aside to welcome new students and parents to GBYouth. It is a time for us to share who we are, what we are about and what we have in store for you! We want our families feeling excited and confident as they step into our ministry.

THE WHAT

Activities for students
We have multiple opportunities to welcome new students to our ministry area. We have a Sunday Small Group preview, Bowling outing, Pool party and Common Ground Launch lift-off event.

Activities for parents
We also have a Parentnar (Parent Seminar) that is specifically designed to introduce new moms and dads to GBYouth!
