Youth GMBA

Full Life

Live for something greater

The General Missionary Benevolent Association (GMBA) is the Church’s national youth ministry dedicated to the spiritual birth and growth of young people.

God has big plans for this world He created. And each person has a place in the plan. The GMBA inspires our youth with this vision so that they can experience living their best life with God and come to realize that serving Christ (and not ourselves) is what makes life worth living.
