Regular Events

F2F Encounter:
F2F Encounter is a time for the students to focus directly on Scripture with the purposes of finding out who Jesus Christ was/is, and how this can apply to their individual and corporate lives.
When: Sunday mornings, 9:15-10:15 a.m.
Where: South Education Building Activity Center

F2F Community:
F2F Community is a life-group discipleship ministry designed to build relationships and look at relevant issues in students' lives. Students meet in gender-specific groups of 5-8 students with both a student and adult leader. Some Wednesday nights are dedicated to an evening of Worship through our high school praise team.
When: Wednesday evenings, 7-8:15 p.m.
Where: South Education Building Activity Center

Community-Wide Worship Night:
Our worship nights often consist of a Community-Wide Worship. F2F is involved with approximately a dozen other youth ministries in the surrounding area. We come together on a regular basis with all of our students, to worship Jesus Christ corporately through prayer and music.

Ministry, Missions & Events:
High school students have the opportunity to get involved with their peers, community and missions in a variety of ways throughout the year. They can attend one of our many trips, Winter Camps, Lake Shasta House Boat trip, Guys-Only Retreat, Girls-Only Retreat, or one of our missions trips. Our missions trips go to Ensenada, Mexico, Tijuana, Mexico, and China, and we leave the door open to other countries. The students also have the chance to serve our local community during our Christmas projects. These trips are designed to enable students to build relationships with each other, have fun, and continue to learn and grow in their personal walks with Jesus Christ.
