A day of music and inspiration that feels like family getting together
Join The Garms Family for an unforgettable day at The Gospel Gym! Tour the work in progress at the former Arkansaw school, enjoy an inspiring concert, and fellowship over a delicious ice cream social. Seats are limited, and this event fills up fast! Donations are raised for ongoing renovations, so your presence makes 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 6 & Sunday, June 7, 2026
2 PM
Building Tours
Explore The Gospel Gym with Ben and Jayme, Taylor and Sam, or Leesha and Caleb! (You can skip the tour and come just for the concert and ice cream too.) You’ll see and hear about work in progress throughout the school and peek into our personal offices. Tours last about 15-20 minutes.
3:30 PM
Concert in The Studio
A Garms Family concert in our home studio is candid, sometimes a little unpredictable, and in the very place where we practice, write and arrange songs, and record our albums! You'll be inspired by God’s faithfulness and the songs closest to our hearts in an intimate setting.
5 PM
Ice Cream Social
Fellowship is sweet at The Gospel Gym, but we make it even sweeter with award-winning, highly-requested Wisconsin ice cream after the concert! Meet like-minded people and visit with our family. Those who attend the Open Houses say it feels like family getting together, and we hope you feel the same!

Meet Your Hosts
The Garms Family
Hey there! We’re David and Kris, Ben, Taylor, Leesha, Sam, Jayme, and Caleb. For nearly two decades, we’ve been creating dynamic Christian concerts that leave people feeling like family. Expect tight harmonies, a wide variety of instruments, honest stories, and the Gospel of Jesus— it's an experience audiences often describe as “Branson, but better!”
What started as hymn sings in our living room has grown beyond what we imagined: full-time touring, a dozen albums, and the larger-than-life adventure of transforming a school building into a Christian performing arts center. We love what we do, and we love the people God brings to our concerts!
So come see what's happening at The Gospel Gym on either June 6 or June 7, 2026. We'd love for you to become #partofthefamily!
Lovable, super musical, and a little crazy. (You have to be to tour together on a 45-foot bus and live in a 55,000 square-foot retired school.)
