Encounter Youth Group
6th-12th Grade
Wednesday nights @ 7pm to 8:30pm
More Than Just a Mid-Week Meeting: Our youth nights are designed to be a break from the stress of school and a place where teens truly belong. We keep things fresh, but you can usually count on three things: Good food, great games, and God’s Word. While we love our routine, we also like to keep you on your toes! Keep an eye on our announcements and social media where we might head off-campus for a service project, a bonfire, or a themed party night.
Our Vision
Rescue
We believe every student is known and loved by God. Our mission starts by meeting students right where they are—providing a safe, welcoming place to belong and sharing the life-changing hope found in Jesus. No matter your story, you have a seat at our table.
Raise up
Following Jesus is a journey, not a one-time event. We are committed to helping you grow in your faith through deep discipleship, Bible study, and honest conversation. We want to equip you with a solid foundation so you can navigate life with wisdom and confidence.
Release
You don't have to wait until you're an adult to make a difference. We empower our students to live out their faith in their schools, families, and communities. Whether it's through leadership roles or local service, we want to see you sent out to change the world around you.
Fine Arts
Created to Create
At Glad Tidings Encounter Youth, we believe God has given every student unique talents to be used for His glory. As part of the National Assemblies of God Fine Arts program, we provide a space for you to discover, develop, and deploy those gifts. Whether you are a musician, an artist, a writer, or a performer, there is a place for you to shine and share your faith through your creativity.

Speed the Light
Speed the Light is our student-led missions initiative with a simple but bold goal: to provide missionaries with the "essential transportation and creative communication" they need to reach the lost.
We believe that if a missionary is going to get to those who don’t know Jesus, they’ll often get there because of the generosity of students. From jeeps in the jungle and sound systems for city outreaches to clean water rigs through Convoy of Hope, we give so that the Gospel can travel faster and be heard louder.
