Current Series:
Come & See
In Romans 10–11, Paul pulls back the curtain on the heart of the gospel: salvation belongs to God, is received by faith, and is offered to everyone. This three–week series will help us see that the good news of Jesus isn’t something we keep to ourselves but an invitation meant to be shared.
As we walk through these chapters in Book of Romans, we’ll discover that Christian witness isn’t driven by guilt or obligation, but by compassion. When our hearts are captured by Jesus and the salvation He freely gives, we begin to long for others to come and see His goodness too.
This series will challenge us to treasure the gospel more deeply, trust God’s saving work more fully, and live as people who joyfully invite others into the hope we’ve found.
Parent Connection
We want to partner with you in connecting with your students around what we’re teaching at Red Hills Youth. With Parent Connection, we have a goal of equipping you with practical, Scripture-centered ways to encourage and disciple your students at home.
Daily Discipleship Guides:
We want to partner with all parents as they disciple their students because we know the majority of discipleship happens at home. To keep families updated with our teachings, we have launched our youth messages in podcast format!
The podcast will include weekly teaching plans, access to the audio podcast, and an occasional devotional from Pastor James. There will also be other resources, in addition to the weekly teachings, that you can use as a tool to engage with your students!
Our podcast is now available on all major platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Google, and Spotify.

High School Summer Camp
JULY 20-24, 2026
CIY MOVE is a 5-day summer event for high school students that helps them know Jesus better, deepens their relationships and sends them home to do Kingdom work!
We have made the transition for our high school students to attend this conference for a few reasons:
We value our students having a week away in the summer to experience God in a new way!
We value our students growing in their fellowship with one another and CIY focuses on helping youth groups be better together!
We value our students not only knowing Jesus but doing Kingdom work as a result of knowing Him.
We value Kingdom Partnership! We wanted to join other churches in Newberg and nearby to take what we learned at CIY and return it home to bring the Kingdom to Newberg!
The cost of camp is $450 and registration closes on June 29! We have many ways we can help you raise money for camp! One of those ways is through our scholarships. If you need a scholarship to help make camp feasible, click the link below:
