Our Vision
Our vision is to teach youth about the workmanship of God through engineering and technology!

"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.
