DOCC is excited to share a new local mission opportunity. Through a partnership with a trusted local ministry serving vulnerable, at-risk students, we are inviting DOCC members to step into a life-changing role as a D3 Coach—someone who walks alongside a student transitioning from high school into adulthood. Join us for an Interest Meeting Sunday, May 31 following the second service in the Cafe.
D3 stands for Developing, Directing, and Discipling. And at the heart of this calling is a simple but profound goal: Build trust, Speak into a student’s life, Help them navigate one of the most critical seasons they will ever face. As a D3 Coach, you won’t have to have all the answers—you just need a willing heart. You’ll serve as a consistent, caring presence while connecting your student to the right resources and support systems already in place.
Application: You could anticipate walking alongside your student in areas such as:
Career and life skills
Housing and transportation
Educational direction
Financial and health awareness
Spiritual growth and mentorship
Yet you will not walk alone. You’ll be equipped and supported through our ministry partners that provide the tools and resources—you provide the relationship.
DOCC members will construct houses for families of the Ensenada community working with YUGO ministries.
