Why Live Up?

Our primary goals are to provide a welcoming space for the youth of Santa Maria to experience grace and discipleship. In today’s fast-paced world, young people need grace and support more than ever. At Live Up, we create a safe, inclusive, and encouraging environment where everyone is embraced, regardless of their background.

Our mission is to help youth grow both personally and spiritually, following Jesus’ powerful example of love and acceptance. Living up means making a daily, intentional choice to deepen your love for God, others, and yourself. Together, we aim for continual growth in a joyful, fun, and faith-filled community.

Exciting Activities Beyond Wednesdays

In addition to our weekly gatherings, we participate in exhilarating winter and summer camps at Camp Cedar Crest in Big Bear, CA. We join other Foursquare youth groups from the SoCal district for these life-changing camps, offering incredible opportunities for fun, friendship, and deep spiritual growth. These camps, filled with outdoor adventures, team-building activities, and heartfelt worship, often become the highlight of the year!

Meet Our Leaders

We are truly blessed with a passionate team of adult leaders who are dedicated to serving and mentoring our youth. They offer unwavering guidance, support, and friendship, ensuring that every student feels valued, connected, and heard. At Live Up, you’re not just joining a youth group—you’re becoming part of a warm, faith-filled family.
