a church to call home.
A place where you can belong.
We’re following Jesus together.
During your time with us…
You can meet with God, connect with others,
And in those relationships, you can experience transformation.
“We join God’s initiative by inviting people to experience friendship with Jesus.”
-Pastor Danny Wallen
Inviting
Inviting People into personal relationship with the Living God.
Enjoying
Enjoying God’s presence through authentic worship, prayer, and study of His Scriptures.
Equipping
Equipping individuals to be and become who God designed for us to be.
Releasing
Using our gifts and resources to share our lives and ourselves.
As a church following Jesus together, we’re committed to 4 core values to shape our identity and function as a local church in Santa Cruz: Invite. Enjoy. Equip. Release. We believe God invites all people into a friendship with Him through Jesus Christ. We want to join His inviting nature. Next, we are called to enjoy. We believe God has called us to first love Him with everything we have, and then to love others with a similar effort. Enjoy God… enjoy others. We also believe in being rich toward God through the release of giving away some of what God has given to us.
We believe in the Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the Deity of Christ, the sole sufficiency of His atoning work of salvation for all who believe; supreme authority of Holy Scripture in all matters of faith and practice; the justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone, and the priesthood of the whole Church whereby every believer has direct access to God the Father through the one Mediator, Jesus Christ.
