You're Invited!

Seats are limited, and this event fills up fast! Get your free tickets today, and be a part of something truly special. Donations will be raised to help with ongoing renovations, so your presence can make a lasting impact.
"An Open House at the Gospel Gym is like a family reunion. You meet brothers and sisters you never knew you had. There are smiles, laughter, inspirations, prayers, and (especially in my case) maybe even some tears. The goodness and love of God seems to flow down every hall and into every room. It just feels like home. I love it every time."
Vern L., Open House Attendee
Event Timeline
Saturday, June 7 & Sunday, June 8, 2025
2 PM
Building Tours
You'll tour the building with either Ben and Jayme, Taylor and Sam, or Leesha and Caleb. (If you don't need a tour, you can just show up for the concert and fellowship!) You’ll visit the gym, locker rooms, our personal offices, and other fun places! Tours last about 15-20 minutes. When we hold events in the gym, much of what you’ll see won’t be accessible to the public.
3:30 PM
Concert in The Studio
You’ll get the unique opportunity of hearing a candid and personal "Night of Encouragement" in the very room where we practice and record our albums! People attend our concerts wanting good music and a fun time. Many walk away with the joy, comfort, or encouragement they needed. Experience God’s goodness and our family’s music in an intimate setting!
5 PM
Ice Cream Social
Fellowship is sweet at The Gospel Gym, but we're making it even sweeter at this Open House! Enjoy award-winning and highly-requested ice cream (made in Wisconsin!) after the concert. You can connect with like-minded people and visit with our family. Those who've attended the Open Houses say it feels like family getting together. And we want you to feel the same!
Doors close at 7 PM

"It was worth every bit of the 7 hour drive to be able to spend time today with The Garms Family. They have taken an old school and turned it into a special place of family, music, and worship."

"Wonderful experience! So inspirational! You are doing God's work! Thanks!"
