Rebecca James
This week, local photographer Rebecca James conducted a photography workshop for middle and high school students at Gillionville Church’s DSN LAB. With 11 years of experience specializing in family photography with a particular focus on newborn portraiture, James brought her expertise to the classroom.
During the workshop, students learned the fundamentals of photography, including the operation of DSLR cameras. Using Canon Rebel cameras, they practiced shooting in various settings around the campus, experimenting with different camera settings, light conditions, and subject compositions. Additionally, students gained hands-on experience in post-production techniques using Adobe Lightroom on iMac computers.

Created by Bryan Haynes, DSN LAB™ is an immersive, creative discipleship platform where students worship and serve through photography, video, graphic design, illustration, and mixed media. The program aims to equip students with the skills to serve their local church while inspiring them to use their creativity to share the beauty of the Gospel.
Student gallery coming soon.
We are so grateful to have our student space completed! The renovation project was co-designed by Jon Bergrab, Bryan Haynes, and Mack Wakeford (YWM Architects, Albany, GA).
The project scope included demolition of existing corridors, kitchen and storage areas followed by the creation of a new lounge, DSN LAB (design lab) workspace, recreation space and snack counter. The design provides a much needed architectural focus for student gathering and activity. The new space boasts a modern aesthetic, incorporating a variety of concrete, glass and metal appointments. The design also includes bold displays of student artwork including a video wall depicting important ministry highlights.
wow!
This year’s DNow was absolutely amazing! GBYouth partnered with students from Byne Church for an incredible weekend of recreation and study! Pastor Bryan and Pastor Mark led our study on loving God with all your Heart, Mind, Soul and Strength.

NEW SPACE
We are so excited!. As part of our NEXT campaign, the youth building is currently under renovation. The redesign includes:
Chapel: New storage behind and modernization of our stage area. This includes a new cinema wall and projection technology for musical worship and Bible study. Existing wall surfaces are to be amended throughout as well.
Central: A new central/core gathering area will be constructed from the existing cafe, corridor, kitchen and storage spaces. This includes new furnishings, gaming, graphics, DSN LAB and modernized aesthetics throughout. The new design aims to bring a cohesive and focused experience for student arrival and interaction.

NEW TRAFFIC FLOW
STARTING MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 2023 until completion of the youth building central renovation (slated for spring 2023).
GBYouth Students:
Students attending Sunday and Wednesday GBYouth activities will need to arrive at David’s Place chapel via the Worship Center entrance. On Sunday mornings, the youth pastor will direct students (from there) to an alternate entrance to attend their small groups.
Parents / Adults:
Thru-traffic between Children’s and Fellowship buildings will use the Worship Center connector.
Thanks for your patience!
We look forward to introducing our new space in to you in spring of 2023. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the youth pastor at 229.395.0026.
