Students Service Project: Castle Park
Students ages 13 and up are invited to help rebuild the iconic Castle Park in Folsom! Our group will be serving on April 9 from 1–5pm. Volunteers may assist with construction using tools, or help with food service, logistics, and tool distribution.
Located in the Willow Creek Estates South neighborhood, just south of Oak Chan Elementary School, Castle Park has been inspiring imagination and adventure since 1996. Designed by Robert Leathers and originally built by community volunteers nearly 30 years ago, it has been a place where generations of families have come to play.
Now, after decades of use, the original wooden play structures are ready to be replaced. The City of Folsom is building a new playground that will honor the original footprint and magical spirit of Castle Park. Just like the first build, this new chapter will come to life through the help of the community.
Sign up today to be part of rebuilding a Folsom landmark!

We’ll have tons of fun games and interactive elements throughout the night, so don’t miss it! It’s also a great opportunity to invite a friend to church. We’d love to see you there.
Baptisms are happening this Easter! If you’re a student and are interested in being baptized, we’d love for you to be baptized after the 5:30pm service! You can learn more and sign up here.
