Worship

You are what you worship. You worship that which you behold. You behold that which you love. At GT, our Sunday worship gatherings are centred around beholding Jesus and learning to fall more in love with God. We worship God not for what we get out of it, but simply for who He is. However, in doing this, we begin to discover the very thing we were created for, to be worshipping image bearers of God.
‍
We do this Sunday mornings through the modes of music and song, the preaching of the Scriptures, prayer, and the Sacraments of the church (Baptism and Communion). Our worship music is expressionate (Charismatic) as well as reflective (Contemplative).

Word

We at GT believe in the absolute authority of the Scriptures and hold them as the standard from which we derive ultimate truth and meaning from. Our preaching is geared towards equipping the Church (body of believers) in what it means to live out their faith in their ordinary, everyday lives. We desire to go deep in our study of the Scriptures and allow it to both “Confront Us”, as well as “Comfort Us”. Our teachings from the Scripture help us better understand what it means to truly follow the Way of Jesus in our cultural moment.

PRAYER

We at GT believe in the power of prayer. We have an incredible prayer team that count it a privilege to be able to spend time with people praying at the end of our services for whatever situation one may be facing. We believe that God, through the Holy Spirit, can do so much to help set free and bring healing to the lives of His people, when we pray together. We at GT intentionally create these spaces in our Sunday services for prayer to be practiced as well as received.

Flipside is open to junior highs (grades 6-8) from all walks of life. Our goal is to welcome students from our community & our church into an inviting, fun, and engaging atmosphere.

Flipside SUNDAYS

We have our own Sunday services offered at 10:00 and 11:30 am each Sunday! It's a blast so bring your Sunday best (smile and hype).

Thursday nights

Thursday nights run from 7:00 - 9:00 pm for both Fuse and Flipside students (unless stated otherwise).

Our meetings are exciting, energetic, and fun; including games, events, practical messages on life & Jesus, small group discussions, and a chance to form great friendships!

Cell phone use: We know cellphones and technology are all around us and important to everyday life but we've noticed an increase of phone use and social media use during our youth nights that has been very distracting to many of our students. We encourage you to discuss with your child what responsible phone use at church looks like so they don't miss some of the great opportunities to build connections with other students, as well as what God might be wanting to speak to them through worship or the message!‍

Upcoming series: The TemptationsDuring the month of May, we are doing a 3-week series called The Temptations.

One thing your student is definitely facing? Temptation! That’s why we’re walking through this 3-week series designed to help them recognize, understand, resist, and deal with temptation. Because temptation is a lifelong part of the human experience, we want to give your students the tools they need now to see temptation for what it is as it’s happening and to ultimately choose God’s best in the face of any and all temptation.

MEMORY VERSE OF THE MONTH:
