I was standing in the middle of Sproul Plaza on the UC Berkeley campus talking to a guy named Doug Muraki from the Bible study I was in when, seemingly out of the blue, he challenged me to step up my game in Bible reading. More specifically, he said, “If you’re really serious about studying…

Imagine being a grade school student during this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. For the duration of your fall semester, you are told that you are only allowed to come to school on either Mondays and Thursdays or Tuesdays and Fridays, and every other Wednesday. This is done to keep class sizes down in order…

In the past few years, we’ve noticed that our students struggle throughout Jr High with equating knowing about God with knowing God, and with having a relationship with Him. Students would woefully admit that following Jesus made sense when they were in their small groups, at summer camp or listening to a sermon, but as…

That choice has led to hundreds of children’s lives being impacted through RFKC, a year-round mentoring program (RFKC Club), our teen…

Our parking structure has really been getting some great usage lately! Not only on Sunday nights, but throughout the week as well. This month, high school ministry has put on a few prayer nights on top of the structure that have turned out to be some of my highlights of the summer! With the warm…

When we went into lockdown in March, I became acutely aware of how important social media is to the advancement and connection of our culture during this season. The only time I would see my friends was through Zoom or Instagram. We were all locked in our houses and bored but at least we had…

We may all have different feelings and struggles with everything going on but there is one thing many of us have in common — we are missing connection with one another.
