For Students

Upcoming Events

Here is an abbreviated list of events going on in the near future.

Elevate:  Wednesdays, 7:00-9:00 pm

For all middle and high school students.  Join us as we study the book of John this semester.  Come for friendship with other students and adults, come for good snacks and games, and most of all come to worship God with students from many schools and backgrounds.  We are primarily meeting at the Koch’s home, 5015 Topaz Ave. in Rocklin.

“Thursday at Panera” – Anytime after 3:00 each Thursday

“Thursday @ Panera” is a chance to get together with other students and just hang out… talk about anything big or small, maybe play games and maybe not.  It’s your time to get to know each other, and hang for as little or long as you can.  We meet at the Panera on Pleasant Grove, near Walmart

Why “Under Construction” you ask?

As Christians, we are all under construction in one way or another. God is at work in our lives to make us like Jesus, and this is a process that lasts a life time. As a youth group it means we recognize there is work to be done, that we have not arrived, and we are willing to allow God’s work to be done in and through us. The idea comes from Philippians 1:6, which says, “For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” God begins his good work in us upon salvation and continues working on us for the rest of our lives – it’s a process! This is also a place to learn of God’s great love expressed to us in Jesus and His plan for our salvation.
