I am grateful to be your pastor. One of my favorite moments is simply sitting in my new office, sipping coffee, crafting meaningful messages (or attempting to!) However, one day, while enjoying my little haven, I received an unexpected knock on the door. It was a dear friend from Canyon Springs. I wondered why he had come. Did he have [...]
It’s here! After 25+ years of desiring a permanent location, we finally have one! After no less than a half-dozen serious attempts at getting into our own space, we're blessed to have a new place called Home! No more “setup/teardown” church every week in a school, park, or wherever God took us over the last two and a half decades. [...]
A Fond Farewell At Canyon Springs Our church has been in a series called “Get out of the boat,” detailing the faith Peter took when he stepped out of the boat to walk on water toward Jesus. From the beginning, this church has given my family great opportunities to step out of the boat. I will never forget the steps [...]
We Had A Blast at the Park! This past Sunday, about 165 of us gathered for our Picnic at the Park! We had a meal of tacos, rice, beans, chips, and salsa, followed by desserts of cotton candy and snow cones! It felt great to visit with each other, greet and reconnect with families we have missed, and play games! [...]
Calling all Super Heroes! The Superhero was our 2021 Vacation Bible School motto at Vision de Dios, Tijuana, Mexico. We had 17 superheroes from Canyon Springs, age range from 4 to “don’t ask,” traveled across the border to bring a message about the greatest superhero of all, Jesus Christ. We played games, including “Kapow the Villain,” where two of our [...]
Serving Our Local Communities When you volunteer locally, you get to interact with your entire community of people. People in our local communities will usually have vastly different stories and backgrounds. We receive a gift when we expand our world even 20 miles and receive the blessing of serving Him by serving others. You do not need to go across [...]
Christmas in Mexico looked a little different this year amid Covid-19; however, we were blessed by God's faithfulness and filled with joy as we celebrated Him! "There are more children here than we thought would come," the pastor and his wife shared with me as children were decorating sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles. My stomach sank. What if we [...]
Women of Canyon Springs! Canyon Springs is blessed to partner with Refuge for Women, SoCal., a non-profit, faith-based organization.

We continue to seek opportunities to walk with them in the healing process of the women participating in their program. Book Nook - Book Drive [...]
Canyon Springs supports all the members of our church community. While we have a vibrant small group ministry serving a wide range of ages, demographics stages of life, we are looking to expand a specific adult ministry (Inclusive of empty nesters, pre-retirement, retired, or just focused on the next “season” of life.) If this is you, we'd love your feedback [...]
A few hundred families and friends of Canyon Springs descended on Scripps Ranch Community Park for an evening of fellowship, food and fun! At $5 all-u-can-eat, it was a great deal too. We had a Taco Cart, Hot Dog Stand, Snow-cones and Cotton Candy. Lawn games, football and Knockerball kept the kids having fun all afternoon long until the sun [...]
