Flipside is open to junior highs (grades 6-8) from all walks of life. Our goal is to welcome students from our community & our church into an inviting, fun, and engaging atmosphere.
We have our own Sunday services offered at 10:00 and 11:30 am each Sunday! It's a blast so bring your Sunday best (smile and hype).
Thursday nights run from 7:00 - 9:00 pm for both Fuse and Flipside students (unless stated otherwise).
Our meetings are exciting, energetic, and fun; including games, events, practical messages on life & Jesus, small group discussions, and a chance to form great friendships!
Cell phone use: We know cellphones and technology are all around us and important to everyday life but we've noticed an increase of phone use and social media use during our youth nights that has been very distracting to many of our students. We encourage you to discuss with your child what responsible phone use at church looks like so they don't miss some of the great opportunities to build connections with other students, as well as what God might be wanting to speak to them through worship or the message!
Kick-Off:
Kick-off is a fun event that is planned to kick off our fall and new school year here at GT Student Ministries. Make sure you wear running shoes and some active clothes and get ready for some fun competition of physical games and intellectual games!
Serve Nights:
At GT Student Ministries we believe that it is important to get involved in our community serving the people of Burlington. During our serve nights, each small group will partner with a different not-for-profit in the city of Burlington and spend the night serving with their small group! Registration coming soon!
SOSO Party (School's Out Summer's On):
School's Out Summer's On Party is an event to celebrate the end of each school year together with lots of outdoor games, colour wars and a bonfire to end the night! It is usually off-site, so make sure to register ahead of time and invite a friend.
If you haven't already make sure to sign up for text alerts, this will be very helpful as we head into our summer small group night so we can message you exactly where we will be meeting the day of and let you know quickly if weather changes. Text Alerts: Text "FLIPSIDE" to 514-900-0130 for Flipside messages.

November
Thursday 14 - Elevate - A Conversation About Political Tension
Thursday 21 - No Youth (Leader's Night Off/ A Parent's Opportunity)
Thursday 28 - Christmas Series - Week 1
Leader's Night Off/ A Parents Opportunity:
Nov 21, 2024 (No Youth)
NEW THIS YEAR! We have a group of amazing youth leaders who are present every Thursday night all year long, building relationships with your students, mentoring them, teaching them about God, and answering some of your student's biggest faith questions. Our leaders are faithful and committed to their leadership roles, this year we want to give them a week off in the fall and one week in the winter/spring to rest.
We want to protect their time and shepherd our leaders well so that they are able to be fully present with your students and give their all each week for our youth nights.
We will not be running the program this night, however, we highly recommend that parents host a student get-together/ youth night at home with some of your student's fuse/flipside friends. This is a great way for you as parents to model hospitality at home! After all, we believe that you as parents are the #1 spiritual influencers in your students' lives.
Here is a video series that we recommend looking into to even lead some small group discussions at home with your student and their friends! https://www.youtube.com/@bibleproject Feel free to pick a video and lead some discussion with your students and the group of friends you invite over!
If you would like more guidance for how to run this feel free to reach out to Pastor Lauren or Pastor Nathan!
