KidsPoint is the place a kid can be a kid while learning about following Jesus in a fun and interactive style. Each Sunday at 10:00am children age 5 - grade 5 meet for KidsPoint in our children's wing for about an hour as they explore what it means to KNOW, GROW, and GO in the name of Jesus. Let your children lead the way to our beach themed check-in point. Only children and authorized staff are allowed in this area to provide the highest of security possible. We recognize that the safety of your children is important to you and we want you to know it's important to us, too. Our staff has had the proper training and background checks. Thank you for entrusting your kiddos with us.          

Overflow is the name of our student ministry geared towards  grades 6-12. Each Wednesday Overflow meets in the youth room from 6:30pm-8:00pm as students/staff hang out and build relationships with each other.

Sunday School provides christian education on understanding scripture and how it relates to life in practical ways. Currently, we offer Sunday School for adults at 9:00am.

Our Life Group Ministry exists to see every person who calls GHNAZ home be connected in a healthy small group community. We create environments where people can connect, encourage, support, pray, and serve one another. We call this "doing life together." Having a small group network provides a great support system and cultivates a healthy mindset that we’re all ministers together in the body of Christ. If you’re not a part of a Life Group already, we can help you get connected, or if you are already a part of a group and would like to start fresh, we can assist you. Stop by the Connection Center and ask for a Life Group Card to get started. You can also ask for more information by emailing us at office@ghnaz.org.
