"The Church OFFICE"

Although the youth group existed for a while, many point to the retreat in Canyon Lake as the official beginning of the youth group now known as Youthblaze. The name shortly followed the retreat and was chosen because some felt the need for a name that would describe the kind of youth group we hoped to be, a group of young people passionate about God. The retreat at Canyon Lake is looked at as the official start because of the way the Lord used the retreat to save, bring back, and strengthen the lives of many who attended. Youthblaze continued to meet in a classroom at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa before moving to the Evangelical Free Church of Garden Grove. Youthblaze has been and continues to be involved in different opportunities such as Dream Center, Orangewood home for abused and neglected children, Someone Cares Soup Kitchen, and Americas Baby Cancer Foundation, in hopes of impacting the community for Jesus. Our mission is to reach people with the love of God and bring the gospel message to all those with whom we come in contact with.
