This is why we do what we do.

Through the sleepless nights, the teen drama, the nonstop days, the planning, the praying, and everything in between—it's all worth it.

At Youth Camp this week, 9 of our own JTB students made the decision to go public with their faith!

This wasn't just another camp week. This was one of those "you had to be there" weeks. The late-night prayer and devotions, activities centered around God, powerful worship, life-changing messages, and an altar that was packed every single night.

This generation is starving for something real... and that something is God.

We watched students encounter Jesus in a genuine way, and we are believing this is only the beginning of what God wants to do in their lives.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." — Matthew 11:28-29

Thank you to everyone who prayed, gave, supported fundraisers, and invested in these students. Your investment is making an eternal impact.

🍨 HUMAN SUNDAE COIN DRIVE RECAP 🍨

WOW. What an incredible few weeks it has been! Because of your generosity, laughter, competition, and support, our HUMAN SUNDAE Coin Drive was a HUGE success!

Together, we raised an amazing $1,500 to help send our students and leaders to summer camp cost free!! 🙌🔥

From the weekly coin battles, to the surprise twists, to watching BOTH leaders get covered in sundae toppings 😂🍫🍓🍦… this fundraiser gave us memories we will never forget!

Most importantly, every dollar raised is helping make camp possible for our students. God has continued to provide in amazing ways, and we are beyond thankful for every person who donated, brought toppings, prayed, shared posts, or encouraged our youth along the way.

This was more than just a fundraiser — it was our church family coming together to invest in the next generation. ❤️

THANK YOU, JTB FAMILY! You helped make a difference bigger than you know! 🙏

JTB Youth Group has been working hard to raise money so ALL of our students can go to Summer Camp! 🙌

So far we have raised OVER HALF of our $6,250 goal and only need $2,983 more to make it happen! 🎉

God has truly been moving because we nearly DOUBLED the amount of students from last year! This year we have 20 campers and 5 leaders going to camp! ❤️

Camp is $250 per person for the entire week, which includes food, lodging, and a camp shirt. Our heart is that EVERY student gets the chance to go no matter their financial situation at home.

Will you help us make a way for these students to experience a week with God? A week where they don’t have to worry about what they’ll eat or the problems waiting at home. A week filled with friendship, laughter, love, encouragement, and people who truly care about them.

Every donation, prayer, and share helps us get one step closer to changing lives. Thank you for believing in this generation! 🙏

If you feel led to give, you can make a donation online at www.granitecitychurch.com towards the Youth Ministry Fund or on Venmo .

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting these students. Your generosity is helping create moments they will never forget and opening doors for them to encounter God in a powerful way. We truly could not do this without you. ❤️

Last Sunday’s Family Sunday was one for the books! ❤️

From our little Guppy singing praise songs to God with so much joy, to all the laughter and fun as our Human Sundae Fundraiser came to an end — it was such a fun and memorable day together as a church family!

Moments like these remind us how special it is to worship, grow, and celebrate together across every generation. God is so good! 🙌🍨

And don’t worry… Human Sundae Fundraiser updates are coming soon! 👀🎉
