rLIFE is the student ministry organization at Coastal Oaks.  It exists for the students of Aransas County ISD in 6th - 12th grades and for the parents of those students, challenging all involved to be life-long followers of Jesus Christ.

The ministry is built on 3 defining key pillars that mirror those established in the vision statement of Coastal Oaks Church:
1.  Worship - We challenge students/parents to invest in the relationship for which we were created and benefit the most, our relationship with God.  That is accomplished by believing in Jesus Christ as Savior and accepting His death as payment for our sin.  Minus Jesus, we cannot have a relationship with the Father, so it all starts here.
2.  Fellowship - If we love God, it will be evident in our love for others.  We fellowship to invest in ever-deepening relationships so that we might glorify God in the way we show love to others.
3.  Service - We are not saved by good works, but the Bible clearly teaches good works are a clearly visibly proof that a person is a believer and Christ-follower.  We serve because God first loved us, not because we have anything spectacular to give God!
