WHAt is GROUNDZERO?

Designed for college-aged students (average age is 18-25 years old), GroundZero is unique because of the hands-on ministry opportunities students have together with a close-knit family atmosphere.  When a student comes to GroundZero they also receive biblical discipleship from seasoned pastors and experienced staff members who desire to see each student be a devoted follower of Jesus Christ.
