High Street Community Church · Santa Cruz, CA
A welcoming community that loves God and loves others.
Who We Are
A church for everyone
in Santa Cruz.
We're ordinary people discovering what it looks like to follow Jesus together — in the everyday rhythms of life on the Central Coast.
An intimate, transforming relationship with Jesus is available to every person. Our whole life together is rooted in encountering him personally through worship, prayer, and scripture.
Community isn't a program — it's our design. We gather in homes, share meals, carry each other's burdens, and celebrate life together as a genuine family of faith.
Following Jesus changes us — how we love, serve, and see the world. We're a community in process, growing in grace, truth, and faithful obedience together.
Current Series
What would it mean for our lives — and our community — to become a place where God's presence truly rests? This series explores cultivating a heart, home, and church where the Spirit is welcome.
