A Vision for Family & Youth Ministries!

We are so grateful to be a community of all ages, sizes and shapes here in Santa Cruz!

Being in ministry together with families, children and youth means we’re all discovering how to practice the presence of Jesus: to be God’s love and grace in our own lives and to share that love and grace with the world around us.  We do that in many ways: Sunday School, youth group, field trips to places like the Heifer International site in Ceres, CA, mission trips for older youth, forums and classes for parents, movie nights for the whole family…and the list goes on!  Life for so many of us is often scattered and hectic and just plain difficult sometimes.  Here as a family of faith, we find strength for the hard stuff, abundant joy to share as we celebrate the presence of God in all things, and faithful companions for the wild and wonderful journey of daily life.  We hope you’ll join us, and add your unique gifts to our community.
