GFC Volunteers

Welcome GFC NexGen Volunteers!
Welcome, current and prospective volunteers! We’re so glad you’re here. This page is designed to help you explore what it means to be a NexGen Volunteer, discover the different areas where you can serve, and learn how to get started. Whether you’re already part of the team or considering taking your next step, you’ll find everything you need to join us in making a Kingdom impact in the lives of the next generation.

What does it means to be a NexGen Volunteer?

Being a NexGen Youth and College Ministry volunteer means more than simply filling a role. It means answering God’s call to invest in the next generation. As Scripture reminds us, “We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done” (Psalm 78:4). Our desire for adult volunteers is to take ownership of an area of interest where their gifts and passions can thrive, while always keeping the heart of the mission in focus. Building godly, supportive relationships with students is central to everything we do. Through consistency, encouragement, and Christ-centered example, NexGen volunteers help students feel seen, known, and loved as they grow in faith, community, and purpose.

All NexGen volunteers are expected to uphold these core values as we serve God's kingdom students
