Thursdays At North Oaks

Make meaningful connections with other 20-somethings who most likely are busy working on the weekends or don't feel quite ready to make it out to a Sunday morning service. North Oaks Young Adults is a community of college students and young professionals gathering right here in Canyon Country to eat good food, ask tough questions, and build friendships that actually last.
​

What to Expect Every Thursday Night

No pretense. No perfect people. Just a real community.

​

• 🍔 6:45 PM | Free Dinner
  Don’t worry about rushing home to cook after class or work. Show up hungry. We have a free, high-quality meal waiting for you every single week (think local street tacos, burger bars, and pizza).

​

• 🎸 7:30 PM | Casual Worship & Short Message
  We trade the massive concert production for an acoustic, low-key setting. Our messages are short (under 20 minutes) and tackle the messy, real-world topics you’re actually dealing with—like anxiety, career burnout, relationships, and faith gaps.

​

• 💬 7:50 PM -8:30 PM | Table Talk
  This is where the growth happens. We don't just lecture you; we sit in circles and talk. You are explicitly allowed to voice doubts, ask hard questions, or just sit back and listen. Your voice matters here.

The Details

• 📍 Where: Cafe at North Oaks Church (Canyon Country)

• ⏰ When: Every Thursday night at 6:45 PM

• 👟 What to wear: Whatever you wore to work or class. Jeans, shorts, hoodies—come completely as you are.

​

"Do I belong here?"

If you fit into any of these buckets, yes:

​

• You attend College of the Canyons (Canyon Country or Valencia campuses) or The Master's University, or CalArts and need a local church home.

​

• You work retail, restaurant, or shift hours in SCV and want a mid-week community.

​

• You grew up in church but have a lot of new questions and doubts you need a safe place to sort through.

​

• You are brand new to faith or Christianity and just want a judgment-free zone to explore.
