We are going through a 12-week series by Francis Chan on the New Testament book of James.

Description
True faith produces fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith. The book of James speaks to the realities of a living faith in Jesus—the kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get-your-hands-dirty discipleship that is borne out of an authentic relationship with the risen Lord. James writes to believers who know suffering, who've faced trials, and who ultimately desire a deep relationship with God.

Francis Chan unpacks the dense truth contained in the book of James in front of the iconic backdrop of San Francisco, the city where he lives and ministers. Through 12 sessions, Francis works through James verse-by-verse, challenging followers of Christ to move beyond a private, intellectual knowledge of God and His Word, to a vibrant faith that impacts every square inch of life.

The purpose of our Youth Ministry is to share the love and grace of God through the gospel of Jesus Christ to Jr. High & High School students. We seek to obey Jesus' command to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20), walking alongside students as they discover what it means to follow Him.

We do this through Biblical teaching and community. It is our prayer that students involved in this ministry will fall in love with Jesus and grow in their understanding of how high, wide and deep His boundless love is (Ephesians 3:18).
