At First & Santa Cruz A Lutheran Church in the ELCA, we are a bilingual, multi-ethnic community rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and called to radical welcome, justice, and love. In the heart of the city, we strive to be a church where every person—regardless of language, race, background, immigration status, identity, or circumstance—is seen, valued, and embraced as a beloved child of God. Guided by Christ, who consistently crossed boundaries to welcome the marginalized and forgotten, we are committed to worshiping together, serving our neighbors, building authentic relationships across cultures, and proclaiming a faith that is active in compassion, liberation, and hope for all people.
