#GBGteens
Gathered by Grace Teen Ministry
Faith. Friendship. Purpose. Community.
#GBGteens is the teen ministry of Gathered by Grace, created to provide a safe and welcoming space for teens to connect, grow, and thrive together.
Through pop-up gatherings hosted at local restaurants and community spaces, teens come together for food, meaningful conversations, fellowship, and opportunities to serve others. Our gatherings are designed to help teens build authentic friendships, strengthen their confidence, and discover how their gifts and passions can make a difference in the world around them.
At Gathered by Grace, we believe community matters. Whether we’re sharing a meal, engaging in real-life conversations, or completing a service project, our goal is to create experiences where our teens feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Pop-Up Teen Gatherings
Every #GBGteens pop-up is designed around three things:
Food
We believe there’s something special about gathering around a table. Our pop-ups give teens the chance to enjoy a meal, laugh together, meet new people, and create memories in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Fellowship
Connection matters. Our gatherings provide opportunities for teens to talk, share, listen, laugh, and build authentic friendships. Whether they come with friends or come on their own, we want every teen to know there is a place for them at the table.
Community Service
We want teens to discover that they have the power to make a difference right now. Each pop-up includes an opportunity to serve by giving teens hands-on experiences that encourage compassion, generosity, leadership, and a heart for their community.
Upcoming Gathering

More than a Meeting
There’s no pressure to have it all figured out. #GBGteens is a space to come as you are, meet new people, have fun, serve others, and grow together.
From sharing a meal to serving our neighbors, we believe some of the most meaningful moments happen when we gather.
And that’s what #GBGteens is all about: creating opportunities for teens to experience community, discover their purpose, and know they are valued.
Mentorship & Encouragement
#GBGteens is committed to helping teens navigate life with confidence, character, and faith-centered support.
#GBGteens is supported by trained and Safe Gatherings-approved adult leaders who are committed to creating a welcoming, positive, and safe environment for teens. Our leaders are here to listen, encourage, connect, and walk alongside teens as they navigate the experiences and challenges that come with growing up.
Whether it’s a conversation over a meal, serving together in the community, celebrating an accomplishment, or simply checking in, our leaders want every teen to know:
You are seen.
You are heard.
You are valued.
And you don’t have to navigate life alone.
Our goal isn’t to have all the answers. It’s to show up, listen well, encourage intentionally, and help teens discover their gifts, purpose, and potential.
