Youth & College ministry
Youth and College Ministry invests in the future of SGMC by guiding students in Grades 7–12 and college-age students as they grow in lasting faith and community. We invite you to reach out to
Rev. J Nelson, our NextGen Pastor, or a group leader to get connected in these vital faith groups.

Our fall schedule will be updated soon. Please reach out to Rev. J Nelson, Next‑Gen Pastor, for current meeting times and details.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACTIVITIES
Something for All Ages

- Children’s Choir — led by Dale Phillips; children learn Scripture through music and sing periodically in worship and for homebound members.
Students (Grades 7–12)
- Bible study — Scripture teaching designed for teens.
- Small groups — boys’ and girls’ gatherings that encourage connection, conversation, and spiritual growth.
Adults
- Bible study — led by Pastor Bob Rambo, offering thoughtful teaching and discussion.
