GGYM @ EPWORTH

We are proud to be a member of the GGYM, a partnership of youth ministries in Gaithersburg. Through this partnership, we aim to build Christ-centered relationships with the youth of our community. Our mission is to help middle and high school students build meaningful connections and grow in their faith while having fun and experiencing true fellowship.
