STUFF WE DO
NATIVES
Natives are our student leaders. Any student who is in their Sophomore year or higher is able to participate in the program. Through Natives, we encourage serving others in and outside of the church, foster spiritual development, and provide personal mentorship. The Natives program runs November-June annually and finishes with a mission trip to put everything that was learned into practice.
ANNUAL EVENTS
Summer camp, youth encounter, game nights, an original spring play, and all-nighters to name a few.
At Tribe, we embrace the “work hard, play hard” mentality and believe in a healthy balance of the two. Discipleship paired with fun is what we do best at Tribe.
Our ultimate goal through Tribe is to empower and encourage students to be everything that God created them to be. We strive to create opportunities for our students to try new things, meet new people, and visit new places all within an uplifting, inspiring, and Christ-centered culture.
everything we do stems from that.
Camp 2026
Every summer, students step away from the noise, the screens, and the routines to spend a week focused on God—and it never disappoints. Summer camp is our favorite week of the year.
Join us in Ojai, CA from July 19–24.
