Santa Cruz Summer Mission

Santa Cruz, a renowned surf city on the West Coast, is a progressive and culturally diverse community marked by deep spiritual need. Each year, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk attracts thousands from around the world and employs 1,200 students – including 150 internationals -offering a unique and strategic context for mission.

During your time in Santa Cruz, we’ll pursue a deeper love for Jesus and for the lost together. You’ll be equipped – and get hands-on experience – initiating spiritual conversations, living in missional community, engaging Scripture, practicing Sabbath, and exploring your own ethnic and cultural story, AND so much more.

We believe that what happens in Santa Cruz this summer won’t stay in Santa Cruz. You’ll come back from this trip equipped to reach your campus, but more importantly, to walk with Jesus for a lifetime. Will you take the leap of faith to join us this summer?
