Quarterly Update & Giving Statement (July - September 2018) Dear Church Family, We kicked off celebrating 20 years of God’s work through Canyon Springs this month. The first Sunday of the celebration I spoke about how the verses in Acts 2:42-47 describe the community God has built here at Canyon Springs. I would like to take a moment to focus [...]
Twenty years ago, Canyon Springs Church was founded by a young couple wanting to bring the hope of Jesus to the Next One in Scripps Ranch and beyond. With the help of a handful of people and the backing of a denomination, Canyon Springs Church took root in 1998. This October, we will celebrate! We will celebrate the lives changed [...]

Here, There, & Everywhere! Girls' Dorm in Haiti! Part of the Here, There, & Everywhere Campaign last year was an initiative to build a girls dorm in Haiti at Good Rest Orphanage. In 2010, all their structures had been destroyed and this one last dorm was still needing to be rebuilt. Last week, Steve Denny, the CEO of Children’s Heritage [...]
HOUSEBOATS 2018 Houseboats 2018 was one for the record books. Our annual trip has grown over 300%, from 70 to 200 kids in just 4 years! What is drawing these high schoolers to make Houseboats THE trip for them and their friends each summer? Is it the tubing? The wake surfing? The cliff jumping (that does give them a healthy [...]
CREEKSIDE 2018 I think 64 middle schoolers and a race to eat a 30 person sundae at camp says it all --messy, sweet, great. Creekside 2018 was a blast. The God takeaways were epic. Ministry to middle schoolers is definitely different than to high schoolers. One key takeaway happened during cabin time with a group of 7th grade boys, [...]

Bob encourages you in his book to always choose love, Jesus’ love, as our response to all people especially the difficult ones. It had me reflecting on the last three months of [...]

Yes there is: E-BULLETIN [...]
Dear Canyon Springs Family, In early February, we held our annual congregational meeting as well as spoke in-service about the financial health of our church. Talking about money is typically not the most favorite thing for a pastor to speak about. Yet, I know Canyon Springs is not MY church. It is Jesus’ church and together we are the stewards, [...]
Alpine 2018 was a blast. We provided games, they made friends, and well, there was lots of sugar. But the most important part was that we wanted the kids to meet Jesus... One of the ways our kids met Jesus at Alpine was thru the one on ones that took place with their leaders. This was my highlight for the [...]
