Our Vision
Our vision is to display the workmanship of God through the lens of engineering to youth in our local community by fostering innovation in modern technology and admiration for our Creator.

Our Mission
Our mission is to bring unique engineering lessons, activities, and projects geared for all levels of experience, and to open church doors to share the gospel to the youth and families.

"For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well"

Psalm 139: 13-14

Welcome to By Design!

Redeemer's Grace Church invites all youth here in our local San Diego community to attend our third Youth Camp: By Design, with the exciting theme of "In His Image." Join us in learning about various engineering design concepts through unique lessons coupled with a fast-paced, hands-on project, developed by RGC's own team of engineers.
