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

MLP is off to a wonderful school year! We are welcoming many new families and introducing them to preschool.

Our dryer, sadly, has stopped working and will need to be replaced. We do several loads of towels each week since the outdoor classroom must be dried almost every day. Please contact Gretchen if you have a replacement or would like to make a donation. Thank you for your consideration.

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