Adult Youth Sponsors

GCYM is blessed with adults who help lead the Wednesday evening meetings and Sunday School. These adults love Jesus and want to be used by God to further the proclamation of the Gospel with all youth who attend. The staff are a diverse group, with a broad age range and wide-ranging life experiences that help in fulfilling the purpose and mission of GCYM. All are integrated into the life of our church, have had criminal background checks prior to serving, and annually sign our Child Protection Policy. Adult leaders use the Word of God to direct their own lives, while modeling Christian living to the youth.
