Welcome to LIFE, our Middle School/High School Ministry. Our youth ministry motto is built into our name, LIFE, which stands for Living in Faith Every Day.
We hope to teach and model for the youth what faith looks like lived out daily, wherever they are: not just at church, but at school, in their families, and ultimately when they go to college and beyond. God is not only at church: He’s with us all the time.
If you’re interested in LIFE or have any questions, contact our Youth Minister Peter Hwang at peter.hwang@cciccu.org
Teaching God’s Truth
We want to pass down truths from the Bible about who Jesus is, the central message of the Gospel, and the overall story of salvation history. Through Friday night messages, small group discussions, and Sunday school lessons, we want to take those treasures and give them to the next generation.
An Invitation to Live It
A real relationship of trust in God doesn’t stay isolated in the head. We want to help the youth walk with God by giving them opportunities like retreats, missions trips, and service, all guided with youth counselors. We want to support them through struggles, so they can taste the real flavor of the grace God shows us as we take risks to trust him.
Building Up in Love
In the middle of their school years, when so much emphasis is placed on achievement and success, we want to build up the youth, not in skills or excellence, but in love. God loves them for who they are, not for what they can do. Through small groups, friendships, and counselor care, we hope to show the love of God to each of our students.

I hope you and your family have enjoyed a restful and joyful summer together.
As the new school year approaches, we get ready to send off our graduating seniors. We pray that the Lord will guide their steps, strengthen their faith, and guard their hearts as they enter this next stage of life.
We’re grateful to share that a group of parents has kindly volunteered to serve snacks for our youth on Friday nights starting this school year. Their willingness to serve and love for our youth are a true blessing. We pray their example inspires more parents to participate in helping our youth activities. May their faithful service be a model for their children and a testimony as they grow together with their youth spiritually in the Lord.
In the meantime, we’re continuing to recruit parent volunteers to help with the youth Friday snack team. If you are interested in serving, please feel free to contact me. We would love to have you join us!
Peter’s latest newsletter is now available and contains August events. Special thanks to Sister Jing Cao (Jonny’s mom) for her work translating it into Chinese for two consecutive months.
As the new school year begins, we especially pray for the youth entering 6th and 9th grade as they transition into new schools and environments. May the Lord grant them hearts filled with peace and be their strength and comfort. We also pray that the Lord Himself would bless the start of this new school year for every child.
Blessings,
Ya-ling Lee
