Student Ministry

We have an active and vibrant student ministry here at Gethsemane, and that is thanks to a large and dedicated group of volunteers that serve as small group leaders for middle and high school students, worship leaders, meal teams, and trip chaperones.  If you are interested in volunteering in The Student Ministry contact the office at 804-779-2044.

Children's Ministry

Here at Gethsemane, we believe in investing in work that teaches the love of Christ to Children.  Our Children's Ministry creates opportunities for members of our congregation to participate in the development of a child's faith journey.  There are numerous service opportunities during the Sunday Morning Garden Kids worship time as well as opportunities to help with events through out the year.  If you are interested in volunteering for The Children's Ministry contact Lori Dunn
