This video is about 10-21-26 | Jesus Said Go. So Go. | Better Together Jesus didn't just save us from sin; He calls us to live differently because of what He has done for us. When relationships get messy, our natural response is often to avoid, blame, gossip, or hold a grudge. But in Matthew 18, Jesus gives us a different way: examine our own hearts, confront sin with humility, pursue repentance, and extend forgiveness. Because Jesus has reconciled us to God, we are called to pursue reconciliation with one another.

This video is about 10-7-26 | Built to Belong | Better Together We weren’t created to follow Jesus alone. From the very beginning, God designed us for relationship—and when we belong to Jesus, we become part of something bigger than ourselves: the body of Christ. In week one of *Better Together*, we explore what it means to truly belong to one another, why biblical community goes deeper than simply having friends or showing up to church, and how God uses His people to help us grow, find purpose, and reflect Him to the world. Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey—we really are better together.

This video is about 9-30-26 | Take the Next Step | Joshua 1:1-9 Joshua stepped into an unknown future, but God never asked him to figure everything out at once. He simply asked Joshua to take the next step. In the same way, we may not know what tomorrow, next year, or even next week holds, but we can trust that God is with us, strengthens us, and guides us through His Word. This will challenge student to recognize that faith isn't about having no fear; it's about choosing obedience and trusting God even when the next step feels difficult. You don't have to know the whole plan, you just have to be willing to take the next step with God.

This month we look at the 4 postures of student engagment & how leaders can meet each type of student where they are at.

God is always at work in our lives even when we can’t see it or understand it. Are we living in such a way that testifies to that truth? Are we standing up for what is right in every area of our life or are we bowing down and making excuses? Scriptures:  Esther 1 - 10  Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student Ministry Instagram- @fccstudents Email- [email protected] Website- fccsantamaria.org

Students Should ask themselves: "Am I more concerned with how people see me or with who I am before God," and "What does it look like to honor God when nobody else is watching?" We want students to know God cares more about their heart than their image! Scriptures: 1 Sam. 16:7, 1 Sam. 16:11-13, 1 Sam. 17:34-37, 1 Sam. 17:38-40 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student Ministry Instagram- @fccstudents Email- [email protected] Website- fccsantamaria.org

What do you do when life doesn’t go according to plan? Joseph’s story takes him from a dream to a pit, from slavery to prison, and eventually to a place he never could have imagined. Through betrayal, disappointment, and unanswered question, God was present and working—even when Joseph couldn’t see it. Joseph’s story reminds us that we don’t have to understand what God is doing in order to trust that He is still at work.

You don't have to compromise who you are just because everyone around you is doing something different. Ask yourself: "Am I willing to stand for God when following Him makes me different?"

May 20, 2026: 11th & 12th grade's student takeover night!  Humility is the start of reverence. When understanding why we stand in awe of God, we often need to get out of our own pride first. God is the perfecter and the master of our hearts. We understand that through humility, then remain in awe because of Him. Scriptures: Philippians 2:1-4 Philippians 2:5-11 Job 15:2- 8 Job 15:11- 13 Job 28:13- 15 Job 28:28, Acts 17:29- 31 Romans 12:2 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student Ministry Instagram- @fccstudents Email- [email protected] Website- fccsantamaria.org

May 13, 2026: 9th & 10th grade's student takeover night!  Jesus shouldn’t just be a HOBBY. He is our Lord and our King, we should treat Him like one. This is a series of questions of how we can do this every single day. Scriptures: Matthew 6:33 Proverbs 3:6 Matthew 22:37-38 Colossians 3:17 Psalms 27:4.

May 6, 2026: 7th & 8th grade's student takeover night!  Do Your Best And God Will Do The Rest: You don’t need to be perfect. Jesus died so you can go to heaven. We’ve been told this over and over, but sometimes it doesn’t sink in and we try to be perfect anyways. We should do our best because we love God, not because we feel we need to earn God’s love. "Do Your Best And God Will Do The Rest" Scriptures: Ephesians 2:8, Romans 3:23-24, Luke 16:21-22, Romans 5:8, Mark 2:17, Galatians 2:16 God Sees You: You are never alone God always is there. God sees everything you go through. You are enough for God. "God Sees You" Scriptures: Genesis 28;15, Isaiah 41:10, 1 Samuel 6:7, Psalms 56:8, Hebrews 4:15, Psalm 34:18, Ephesians 1:4-5, 1 Peter 5:7, Romans 5:8 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student Ministry Instagram- @fccstudents Email- [email protected] Website- fccsantamaria.org

Time feels unlimited—until it’s not. In this message, we look at Jesus’ parable in Matthew 25 and the reality that what we’ve been given—our time, abilities, and influence—actually matters more than we think. Life can change in an instant, and none of us know how many days we have left. But instead of creating fear, that truth is meant to wake us up to live with purpose, urgency, and love. The question isn’t how much you’ve been given—it’s what you’re doing with it. Are you living ready? Scripture: Matthew 25:14-29 Psalm 90:12 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student Ministry Instagram- @fccstudents Email- [email protected] Website- fccsantamaria.org

The idea of “You cannot give what you don’t have” is To understand the value of your heart and know the depth of The Love of God through out and beyond time. to know the Depth of the Love of God, We must first know, or at least try to, understand The Grandness of His Being and the Fullness of His heart that was shown through out the Bible, especially through Christ that was meant for us to just accept. Meanwhile, The enemy knows the value of the heart, as shown whom was targeted in the garden of Eden, and is the same target throughout time. By this, The importance of the Heart is established and the Depth of the Love of God shown through Christ is introduced deeply through the awe and grandness of His Being and Heart. Scripture: Ephesians 3:19 Ephesians 3:17 Genesis 1:1 1 Peter 5:8 Ephesians 3:14-19 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student Ministry Instagram- @fccstudents Email- [email protected] Website- fccsantamaria.org

A lot of us have learned how to look okay—even when we’re not. But God isn’t asking for a perfect version of you; He wants the real you. This message explores how Scripture shows us that God meets us in our emotions and invites us to stop carrying our struggles alone. When we drop the mask and let God—and others—in, we discover the kind of peace and support we were created to enjoy.
