Welcome to the Student Ministries of Galesburg First Church of the Nazarene! Our goal is to use volunteers to reach out to 3 basic groups: Jr. High (7-8 grades), Sr. High (9-12 grades), and College Students. We want to see our students learn about Jesus, have a relationship with Jesus, and grow in Jesus.
WEEKLY SCHEDULEWednesdays (6-8pm) - Lombard Gym NightThis ministry meets at the Lombard Middle School gymnasium throughout the school year. It is open to all students from 7-12th grades.
