Our hope is that ChristianCruz will become a participatory news service for the Christian community in our region of the world so that notices of events, for example, can be followed up with reports of how the Lord accomplished His purposes at those events. As believers learn of events through ChristianCruz, they can attend those events and then return to this website to report on the Lord’s work. Comments allow you to report such follow-up news right here on ChristianCruz.com. If you have any questions about how to use these features, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Please note: to prevent inappropriate messages (often called "comment spam"), comments will not appear on the site until they have been approved by our staff. Thank you very much for your understanding.
The Coastlands has entered the “Podcast Era!” Now, on the new podcasts page at the Commended To The Word website (Commended To The Word is an extension ministry of The Coastlands), you can sign up for their Podcast with iTunes. Check it out!

At the bottom of most posts on the front page of our site (and in our archives), you will find a series of small links: Comments, Trackbacks, Permalink, and Tell A Friend. These links provide you with the ability to participate in ongoing conversations among the Christian community in Santa Cruz County. Our hope is that ChristianCruz will become a participatory news service for the Christian community in our region of the world.
We are convinced that a public demonstration of the unity of the Christian church across denominational and individual church lines is the foundation of all effective outreach.
Believing that ChristianCruz.com can play a small part in facilitating that unity, we highlight events and news which we believe will be of interest to the larger Christian community in Santa Cruz County.
We do not provide these events and news items to encourage "church-shopping" in any way. Instead, we believe that providing this information will encourage you to pray for other churches and believers in our area. As we identify with each other in prayer, we believe that the Lord will continue to build community among us and that such community will serve as a foundation for us to reach out to those around us who do not yet know Christ.
We believe the following resources will prove helpful to the Christian community in Santa Cruz County as we endeavor to present the good news of Jesus to our friends and neighbors.
