Welcome to Grace Youth Ministries! Or, as we like to say, WELCOME TO THE GYM! We are (or should we say, we want to be) a community of students (middle school and high school) that loves God and loves one another.

THE GYM exists to challenge students to trust and treasure Jesus Christ for the good of their world and the glory of God.

We want everything we are and everything we do to be about Jesus. Amazing as it sounds, 2000 years ago God invaded planet earth and became a man. His name was Jesus. Everything he was and everything he did communicated who God is and what He's about.

God created us to live in a way that is true, good, and beautiful. When we turn away from our sin and self-centeredness and trust and treasure Jesus Christ, God gives us peace, joy, passion, and fulfillment. We want to be a community of people that encourages and inspires one another in this journey of learning who we were created to be and how we were created to live.

This journey can be long and hard. And we don't pretend to have mastered it at all. Along the road, sometimes we're happy. Sometimes we're sad. Sometimes we're great people. Sometimes we're jerks. Sometimes we succeed. Sometimes we fail.

No matter where you are at in your journey, we hope that you will find THE GYM to be a place where you are accepted, challenged, inspired, forgiven, and loved. We are a community of students who have our victories and defeats, who doubt and hurt, just as much as anyone else. But we follow a God who forgives, heals, accepts, and loves us. He proved it by sending Jesus to die for us.
