Welcome to Messiah Lutheran Church!

Messiah Lutheran Church is a Christian community located on the West Side of Santa Cruz, California. We are within walking distance of the UCSC campus, in the Westlake Neighborhood.

Here at Messiah Lutheran Church we desire to know our Lord and Savior better, to grow in our faith, and share that faith journey with others. We experience faith together at our Services, Bible Classes, and Events. This faith is an active path we journey on together. Please join us!

Preschool Update
Summer School at MLP is off to a wonderful start! The children are thrilled to be back.

Thanks to a generous donation from a member of the congregation, a Thrivent matching grant, and a grant from United Way we were able to fund over $1200 in fence repair over our brief break. The alumni contractor I hired to do the work ended up generously donating his labor costs. He said while he was doing the fence work he was reminded of the years his son attended MLP and he was so grateful. (His son is now in middle school.)

God is so good.

If you would like to donate to the preschool, please use the donate button below.
