Welcome to Foothills Youth!

Foothills Youth is a ministry of Foothills Church in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. This site is a hub of information for both students and parents, designed to give you insight into our ministry, keep you updated on our upcoming events, and provide resources to change your world for Christ.

Current Series - Alien Summer

Our youth ministry leadership team is extremely excited about this summer's program. We will be combining both Jr. High & High School for an incredible mid week youth group experience. Our hope is that by doing so, students would feel more comfortable in their new youth group environment & be encouraged to continue coming after the summer has passed.

Our Theme - Alien Summer

We will be talking this summer about how we are created to be in heaven with God & how that affects the way we experience life here on earth.

Our topics will include:

  • Description of an Alien - Understanding that you are one!
  • Alien Manifesto - The Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)
  • Alien Anthem - Explanation of Worship music & why we sing to God
  • Alien Habitat - Our heavenly home
  • Alien Perspective - How understanding that you are an alien changes your view of the world
  • Alien Encounters - How the world views aliens (Christians)
  • Alien Problems part 1: Big head - pride
  • Alien Problems part 2: Tractor beam of evil desires
  • Alien Ambassador - Christ to us...how we can be Christ to the world
