Yesterday (Sunday) at youth, we had the honor of baptizing 8 students! We are overjoyed that so many people gathered to witness this significant event. There is no greater joy than celebrating new life in Christ! It’s incredible to see how some of those baptized yesterday have journeyed from making a personal decision to follow Jesus to now publicly proclaiming their faith through baptism. This reflects the biblical pattern—belief in Jesus followed by baptism as an outward sign of an...

Youth group was last Sunday! Join us from 12:30–3:00 PM at Building 229 (6th–12th grade). We’ll have pizza, soda, and desserts as we celebrate birthdays from this past month! This week’s Bible lesson: “What Is Baptism and Why Is It Important?” Matthew 28:19 — “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” In April alone, we’ve already had 177 individual students come to youth...

We love this National Park!

Easter is celebrated by Christians to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

While doing street ministry in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco last week, two of our students met a woman named Tasha. She stood out right away—there was a kindness in her eyes and a softness in her voice. They approached her with a flower, introduced themselves, and shared that they were in the city to spread the love of Jesus. As they got to know her, they asked if she had ever had any experiences with Jesus or faith. She said no. So, they offered to tell her a Bible story,...

Would you consider financially supporting our students as they step out in faith to share the love of Jesus? We’ve been so encouraged by the number of students who are growing in their faith and saying “yes” to opportunities to serve. Over 260 students have joined us for youth group this spring, where we’re discipling them each week and helping them build a strong foundation in Christ. They’re now putting that into action—through our recent mission trip to San Francisco,...

We just returned from an incredible mission trip to the heart of the Tenderloin in San Francisco, and we are in awe of what God did this past week. He stretched us, shaped us, and reminded us that even the darkest places can be lit up with His love. From organizing donated food and passing out groceries, to serving coffee and spending hours on the streets—praying with people, sharing the Gospel, and showing the love of Jesus—our students met people from all walks of life. Many were...

We are excited to begin our fifth annual mission trip to San Francisco, CA, over Spring Break. Please join us in praying for the hearts of the people in this city, as well as for the members of our team. We look forward to sharing stories of what the Lord does this week.

In February, 197 individual students came to youth events—we’re grateful for each of you who showed up and invited friends. Thank you for being part of this.

After being in the park for about 30 minutes, we walked by a lady sitting on a bench. I honestly got nervous, just walking by her, but Lauren said that she felt it in her that we should go talk to her. We turned back around, and as we made an approach, another woman started going towards her and sat down next to her. We made conversation with the two of them and came to find out that their names were Ava and Alyssa. They were clearly struggling in life, drugs in hand, and covered in sores...

What I got out of this weekend was how important prayer is. Prayer isn’t new to me. It’s something I’ve done my whole life, but sometimes it feels more like a routine you’re following. But prayer is really a way of talking to God to grow closer to him and to grow deeper in your faith. It’s a way to become a follower by talking to God, one on one instead of just being a fan and watching what God does around you. - written by a student that attended D-Now Weekend 2025

This semester has been powerful, and we’ve already seen God moving in big ways. So far in January, 167 individual students have come through our doors—each counted only once, no matter how many events they’ve attended. But the real impact isn’t in the numbers; it’s in the lives being changed and the community being built.
