March 4th,5th and 6th at Redwood Christian Camp for a Manly Revolution with Pastor Sandy Adams. Beautiful retreat away from the world in this beautiful camp. Sunny on Saturday with a high of about 58 the rain stayed away until after service on Saturday night. Here are just a few candids from around the camp showing what things looked like for Calvary Chapel Santa Cruz men who staff the event.

Calvary began its day at 6:30 at the Twin Lakes Beach with a cold but beautiful sunrise service. The day was cold and raining most of the time but the SON still shined brightly in our hearts and fellowship. Fellowship followed from the beach to the first service in our new building in Scotts Valley at 10 where close to 325 people enjoyed a message from God's Word given by Pastor Dave. Here are a few candid shots taken during the day. HE HAS RISEN!

The weather was a perfect 80 and there were a lot of people from Calvary Chapels in this area attending this annual event. Lots of great food and fellowship and a time of worship and baptism was the highlight of the afternoon at Seacliff State Beach in Aptos.

This is the first VBS in the new building in Scotts Valley. Check out how much fun it was for the kids and staff to play together for a week.

Nothing is more important to the health of a church than a strong Children's Ministry and at Calvary Chapel Santa Cruz this is a high priority. Children learn of the love of the Lord in a safe and caring environment. Children and strong families make up a solid core of a strong church and of a community. While the parents are in worship service the kids and teens are in their own worship service praying and learning about God through His word.

Hearing from God's Word is what builds confidence and encourages us in our walk with the Lord. Calvary Chapel Santa Cruz teachers through the Bible book by book and verse by verse to t hat the whole counsel of God is taught and not just the favorite topic of the day.

Any church is more than just a building or a great teacher, it is all about the people that make up that body. Fellowship before and after service is important to us and that is why we built a Cafe into our lobby so that we can hang around and break bread together after worship.

King David who wrote most of the Psalms was a man who loved to sing and dance to express his love for the Lord. Calvary Chapel opens every service with at least 5 songs of praise. We close the service with a song of praise and worship.

One of the best ways to get to know other people in the church is through serving together meeting the needs of the church. God brings people to a church to serve Him and Calvary Chapel has a vision to reach Santa Cruz County that offers many different places for you to serve.

The new building in Scotts Valley comes as a real blessing after nine years of prayer and seeking the perfect place to minister to the needs of people God has sent us from Santa Cruz County.

Words just can't describe how beautiful the walls are in the children's area as a result of the work of Mike and his wife.
