The youth of GSCC are playing a larger role than ever in serving their church and their community.

"His Hands and Feet" service group kicked by helping serve lunch to needy children with the GRACE Feed Our Kids program.  They will complete at least one service project per month, and will begin a new partnership with Catholic Charities by devoting one Saturday per month to the Refugee Program in Fort Worth. The Hands and Feet group also helps serve the GSCC community's needs throughout the year and helps with the UGM lunch project and the Sleep-out for Honduras.

This summer, Mark Knox and Larry West, along with a host of parent volunteers held the first ever Disciple Now program. During this week which was kicked off by a concert with youth speaker Cooper Ray, the students performed a service project in the morning returning to GSCC for lunch and catechesis.
The organizations served included Catholic Charities, Tarrant Area Food Bank, GRACE,  Union Gospel Mission, Mission Arlington, Presbyterian Night Shelter, Dancing Rivers Senior Living, and Habitat for Humanity. With over 35 teens and 8 adults assisting daily, over 480 service hours were completed!
