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.

For more information, email Rev. Jennifer Mullins - Youth, Young Adult and Discipleship Pastor
