This aerial view reminds us of the sacred ground we’ve inherited—and the vibrant community we’re called to serve. At the bottom of the image is a commemorative plate marking 125 years of Methodist presence in Santa Cruz, along with a brief history of our current building, dedicated on September 15, 1963. For generations, faithful hands have built, served, and shared Christ’s love from this very place. Now, as we stand on the threshold of a new chapter, we are discerning how God is calling us to be a transforming presence—not just caretakers of buildings, but co-creators of grace. May we listen with open hearts, remembering the legacy we’ve received and embracing the vision God is unfolding.
