Our next Young Adults' night is on Saturday, February 24th at 6:30-9:00 pm. We will be meeting at a NEW LOCATION: Santa Cruz Community Church (411 Roxas St, Santa Cruz, CA 95062)!

This will be a great time to enjoy fellowship with other young adults over both a potluck meal and during a time where we are equipped together for ministry. This month we are continuing our series in apologetics led by Andrew Woods who will be equipping us to respond to one of the most prominent objections to Christianity: the problem of evil.

Let us know if you can make it and if you are able to contribute to the potluck at this link:

One Saturday evening each month we will be meeting at Santa Cruz Community Church to enjoy fellowship and to intentionally consider how we can grow as Christians together. Moving forward, you can expect various activities such as preaching/teaching, panels, debates, discussions, bible studies, workshops, and more. This format will help equip the saints for the work of ministry (Eph 4:11-16) and be a good place to invite people to see what Christians believe!
