The Redzone
The RedZone is more than a building—it's a mission field.
Located directly across from the Collinsville High School football stadium, it was created to give students a safe, positive place to gather after Friday night football games.
Instead of wandering the streets or attending unsafe parties, students are welcomed into an environment filled with fun, food, music, and community. Every week, we provide free food, host dance parties with live DJs, organize games and giveaways, and create opportunities for students to build genuine friendships with caring leaders who love them. As the RedZone has grown, many of the local after-game parties have disappeared because students now choose to spend their Friday nights in a place where they are valued, encouraged, and safe.
One Friday night, a student arrived at the RedZone after leaving a suicide note for his mother before heading to the football game. While there, one of our leaders noticed him, welcomed him in, introduced him to other students, and made sure he didn't leave feeling alone. That night became a turning point in his life. Today, he is alive, thriving, and surrounded by a community that continues to encourage and support him.
Stories like his are why the RedZone exists. Every meal served, every game played, every conversation shared, and every act of generosity creates another opportunity for a young person to encounter hope, discover purpose, and experience the love of Jesus.
Redzone Building Project
Because of the incredible growth, we've outgrown our current space.
We're now building a brand-new RedZone facility to accommodate the hundreds of students who gather each week. This new building will allow us to welcome more students, expand our outreach, and create even more opportunities to impact the next generation.
Thank you for blessing the next generation!
Every gift toward the RedZone is an investment in the next generation. Together, we're not just constructing a building—we're creating a place where students can find hope and experience the life-changing love of God for years to come.
