DRIPPING SPRINGS — On Friday, Jan. 30, the Dripping Springs community gathered at Canyon Church to celebrate the grand reopening and ribbon cutting of the Youth House, in conjunction with the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce.
The event marked the reopening of the building, following six months of extensive interior renovations. The renovations created a more open and welcoming layout and included new windows, fresh paint and flooring, a coffee bar, updated furniture and a new HVAC system.
The church purchased the adjacent lot and home in June 2001 to be used as a dedicated meeting space for Canyon students in grades sixth through 12th. Those in attendance at the ribbon cutting included Canyon students, church staff, members of the congregation, contractors and community members.
In September 2025, Canyon Church members were invited to bless the rebuild by writing Scripture on the interior studs that support the building, stated a news release. These verses now serve as a foundation of faith for the generations of students who will gather, grow and be transformed within the Youth House, the release continued.
The church continued the celebration Sunday, Feb. 1, with refreshments and a special unveiling following the worship service.
The Youth House is located at 4003 Spanish Oak Lane on the Canyon Church campus at 4000 E. US 290. For more information about youth events at Canyon Church, visit www.thecanyonchurch.org.
