Youth Mission Trip occurs annually in the summer, taking high schoolers (grades 9-12) on transformative service trips around the country and the world. Ways to support Youth Group include providing meals, chaperoning or general support of the program and activities.

MSYG strives to create strong bonds between our middle schoolers, while having an incredibly fun time. MSYG is open to all 7th-9th graders, and typically involves dinner, games, and a great discussion. Past discussion topics have included Life as a Middle School student, food, thanksgiving, the fundamentals of Christianity (and other religions), body image, and our stewardship of the environment.
High School Youth Group
HSYG understands the various stresses that high schoolers face, and seeks to build a fun, loving, and supportive community of high schoolers and adults to help them on their journey.

Past discussion topics have included relationships, other religions, stress, living as a teen Christian in the Bay Area, music, prayer, and social media.
