Gospel Project

The Gospel Project is more than just a curriculum, it's a framework for gospel-shaped discipleship. It helps youth not just know the Bible, but know the God of the Bible, and live as His disciples in today’s world.

Why Youth Church Matters

High school is a critical time in a young person’s life; full of questions, challenges, and identity-shaping experiences. That’s why Youth Church on Sundays is more than just a gathering; it’s a time for teenagers to grow deep roots in their faith.

Using The Gospel Project curriculum, our teens journey through the entire storyline of the Bible; seeing how every part points to Jesus and how the gospel speaks into their real lives today. This curriculum helps high schoolers not only understand Scripture but also apply it personally, shaping their worldview with truth and grace.

In a culture filled with mixed messages, Youth Church offers a safe place where teens can explore their beliefs, ask honest questions, find community, and be mentored in what it means to follow Jesus daily. It’s about building a faith that’s real, relevant, and ready to last beyond high school.

 

We use The Gospel Project curriculum to walk through the Bible chronologically, helping teens see how every story points to Jesus. This helps them understand the big picture of God’s plan, develop a solid foundation of biblical truth, and apply it personally and practically.

We create space for real questions, honest conversations, and personal growth. Through mentoring, prayer, and teaching, we help teens build a faith that lasts.

Here, teens find community, discover truth, and learn to live out their faith—at home, at school, and in the world.

It follows the timeline of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, helping participants see how God’s redemptive plan unfolds through history.

Every lesson—Old Testament or New—points to Jesus as the central figure of God’s plan. The message is clear: The Bible is not just about us—it’s about Jesus.

Encourages students to engage with real issues in light of biblical truth.
