Santa Cruz Hope Church

"Great church, welcoming and casual, Bible preaching!"

"They have skateboard nights. Great when it's raining."

"Also known as the Pancake Church or Surfing Church since they feed free pancakes and have a surfing Pastor but really they are just a loving group with a simple message of love and salvation. Not bogged down in religious heaviness their service is well looking into. People where genuine and caring. I will go back"

"Coolest church, coolest people, down to earth! You feel so welcomed and your presence is wanted there!!!! My husband and I passed by one Sunday afternoon and saw "FREE PANCAKES" and "SKATE CHURCH" and had to check this place out. It's literally one of the neatest churches we have ever attended. Once you start going a couple of times you feel like people are already noticing you. Plus, the staff will go out of their way to say hi and make sure you are doing well. It's so cool."

"We are an older couple and grew up in the Jesus Movement. This church gives us glimpses of the camaraderie and freshness of that era. No bells and whistles, just broken people getting together to love each other and study our Hero, Jesus whom we wish to reflect to our world. The church is known for the "Skate Church" that reaches out to the skater community in this area with the same simple offer: no perfect people allowed, all broken people embraced."
