An Evening With Gil's Hills

This is an annual event, and a good opportunity to learn more about the ministry, history, and vision for the future.

Caring Friends For Kids

This is our way of ministering to our kids, one on one.  This is truly an important part of our ministry as it gives the staff the chance to minister where the kids are at.  We try to remember important things such as birthdays and other special events.

Carpentry

Gil's Hills has been blessed with a woodshop loaded with tools, giving our kids an opportunity to build a project selected just for them.  We have found how important it is for our kids to put their heart into their work.  This ministry is very important in building self-esteem.

Crafts

Crafts are another very important part of the overall ministry at Gil's Hills.  Kids enjoy doing things with their own hands.  Our craft leader will use her time not only to assist in the construction of the craft project, but she will also give a listening ear and share words of encouragement.

Camping

Camping is the highlight of the summer.  Gil's Hills sets aside five weeks each summer to give our kids an opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors.  There are cabins to stay in, "Gil's Galley" to eat in, The Chapel for evening vespers, and the pond to swim in.  The campfire area serves as the perfect place for the kids to sing to the Lord and share their heart!

Case Management

This ministry is our way of taking small groups of kids on a variety of activities ranging from picnics, skating, Christmas caroling, etc.

CB Clubs

CB Clubs are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school year.  CB is otherwise known as "Could Be".  The clubs could be anything, but we strive to use this time to have fun as we share the gospel.  The clubs begin with crafts and other activities.  Following that, our kids enjoy a well-balanced family-style meal.  We encourage our kids to use proper table manners while having good, wholesome conversations.  After dinner, the kids head to the Ark for a time of Bible study and group dynamics.  Topics are discussed, such as loneliness, peer pressure, death, friendships, and most importantly, how God can make a difference in their lives.

Counseling

Counseling services are provided at Gil's Hills.  This service may be required on the spot, or appointments can be scheduled for structured counseling developing a plan of action, using God's Word to assist in overcoming some of the problems they may be facing.

Transportation

Transportation is a huge part of our ministry at Gil's Hills.  We provide rides for kids throughout the county and without our two vans, bringing our kids up to Gil's Hills on Brown Road in Wellsville would be impossible.
