Lutheran Campus Ministry of the Monterey Bay

Lutheran Campus Ministry of the Monterey Bay shares the Good News of Jesus Christ with the campuses of Cal State, Monterey Bay and University of California at Santa Cruz.

Cal State Monterey Bay has been welcoming campus chaplains as they value the role spirituality plays in the student’s well-being.

It is a special opportunity to connect with Students, so please donate to this important ministry as we work to empower Young Adults in the Monterey Bay Area.

  • We will swing by your bus stop on UCSC Campus and give you a ride to our 10:00 am worship service.

  • We gather in the homes of our church members, which include Progressive dinners, backyard s’more nights and more! Join us for good food and good company.

  • We will be happy to connect you with an adult or family in the congregation who will pray for you, support you, and connect with you in meaningful ways.

  • Join an intentional scripture study to deepen your spiritual walk as a child of God. Explore what it means to be a disciple who makes disciples. We want to support you as you grow in your relationship with Jesus.

  • Young adults and students are such a part of touching people’s lives with the love of Jesus through participating in beach clean-ups, volunteering, baking pies, food, and serving the homeless, and a lot more!

  • Having been placed by God so close to Campus, we want to be a blessing to as many students on Campus as we can. You will see us passing out free coffee and cookies in the mornings, distributing care packages to students, as well as hosting a free Finals Study Hall at our church (complete with snacks, Wi-Fi, and school supplies)!

  • This is an active Chinese language outreach led by Pastor Freeman Li.
