Last month I heard about a need at Canyon Springs. One of our own students had been in an accident. As I shared this news one Sunday, I was moved to tears. Not only because of the accident, but also because I knew what my friends at Canyon Springs would do. You would step up and take care of this [...]
"ONE HERE ONE THERE ONE EVERYWHERE" Six months ago Pastor Jack shared with us the ONE HERE ONE THERE AND ONE EVERYWHERE campaign. It is a campaign dedicated to reaching more people not only here in San Diego but worldwide. Many of you contributed financially and have committed a pledge for this year to help the church reach its goal [...]
Houseboats 2017 was a huge success. This was the third Houseboat trip for Canyon Springs church and boy did word spread about this trip. We went from 115 to 150 kids. To see this many kids want to come to this camp was quite amazing and we are grateful to be at a church that supports reaching the youth in [...]
Creekside 2017 was a blast! On Sunday, June 18th Oasis Middle Schoolers grabbed their bags and headed north to Forest Home (FoHo) where we spent the week at Creekside! With 38 students and 10 leaders, we were bound to have a great time from the very beginning. No matter if this was your first time or final time going each [...]
Happy Father's Day We had a great morning at Canyon Springs celebrating Dads all around. We got to see the annual “Daddy Pictures” including the “Kids Say The Darndest Things” video. We heard an inspiring message on fatherhood by Pastor Paul. After each service, we enjoyed Brats & Dogs in the courtyard. Each service ended with two lucky fathers winning [...]

It was great watching all of our San Diegans struggle to reconcile how to survive in the snow. Looking around the camp, you could tell that our kids were very unprepared as they walked around in Vans and [...]
Winter x 2017 was a great success. We had so much fun and there was a TON of snow. The new snowboarders and skiers seemed to pick it up pretty quick and everyone had a really good time. The highlight for me is always being a part of God's work that he is doing in the lives of our students. [...]
We've reached the Year's End And I Thank YOU! It’s year end and there are so many blessings to be thankful for at Canyon Springs. I’m thankful for an unbelievable staff of friends that I get to work with. I’m blown away by the way the Canyon Springs faithful care for people in our neighborhoods, students on campus, homeless on [...]
Houseboats 2016 was a huge success. This was the second Houseboat trip for Canyon Springs church and boy did word spread about this trip. We went from 75 high schoolers this year to 115. When planning this trip I set the goal for 100 kids. To see this many kids want to come to this camp was quite amazing. It [...]
As we mourn the fact that we're not getting to go to VBS again this week, let's take a few minutes and recap what an amazing week it was aboard the USS Submerged! Every day last week, we had almost 200 kids ("Bubbleheads") ages preschool through 5th grade flood our campus to learn about Jesus (oh - and have A [...]
