Gayton Student LIFE… is the youth ministry of Gayton Baptist Church for students in grades 6-12.

The goal is to lead students to experience LIFE in Jesus Christ through:

• Discipleship - in worship, prayer, Bible study
• Community - in support, friendship and fun together
• Action - in opportunities for leadership, outreach & service

We work toward this goal through weekly gatherings and special events! 

Our weekly gatherings include: Sunday morning Youth Brunch Bible Study, Sunday evening LifeNights, and a summer mid-week Bible study. Special events include outings, seasonal events, retreats, fun community gatherings, and an annual mission trip.

Our Youth & Young Adults gathered on Sunday, Nov. 23 for a wonderful Friendsgiving celebration, and it was truly a joy-filled evening. Led by Rev. Jennifer, this cherished Gayton tradition brought together students and young adults for a delicious potluck meal, meaningful worship, and rich fellowship.

From laughter around the table to shared stories of gratitude, it was a sweet reminder of the community God is forming in and through our young people. Thank you to everyone who brought food, invited friends, and helped make the night special. Our hearts are full!
