Saint Michaels University Church - Isla Vista (CA)

Luke Scott My wife and I attended Calvary this morning while in Santa Barbara on vacation. We decided to try it out because it was one of the local churches listed on the 9Marks church directory. Several church members warmly greeted us when we arrived. Music style was a mix of hymns and contemporary praise, all very singable and not showy. Pastor Michael’s expository preaching was engaging and edifying. I would highly recommend Calvary Baptist Church to anyone who is visiting the area or looking for a home church.

Dan Fleury I love the Lord and wherever the Holy Spirit leads me, but here I have found a family. You can go to many churches, you can participate in any organization. Anyone who loves the Lord will also love anyone who carries the message of Our Savior but the members I have met here have challenged me and my preconceptions, accepted me and above all loved me. In doing so they have displayed the love of Christ for his bride that you dont get just anywhere. I have been blessed.

Daniel S Been coming to CPC for over two years now and I feel so immensely blessed to call it my church home.

Tracy M. Hobson Love this space. The view from the room, furthest left facing the ocean, lends an aura of the mystical. Very comforting.

Mario Cuvas It was one of the great masses I have experience everyone was kind and helpful

Brian Bargiel Unity of Santa Barbara is a hidden downtown gem. Our family held a celebration of life here for our father in fall of 2024. The staff was warm, friendly, and accommodated our needs for the physical event as well as audio/video and live streaming. The sanctuary is comfortable (great seating), light, and airy. The patio is large and accommodated our guests well. Attached parking lot is a plus as well as street parking. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a warm, comfortable venue for any spiritually-oriented gathering.

Joan Taylor I moved here from PA 7 years ago. This church allowed me to feel at home from the start. Everyone was so friendly and inclusive. This is a missional church, serving here in Santa Barbara and around the world. Im proud to call First Presbyterian my home church.

Mollie Moore We have been at Anthem Chapel since it started four years ago, and our family has loved this church. It truly feels like our family, and there are endless opportunities for us to be involved. We feel like we belong here, our kids are loved, and we are all pushed to live a bolder life for Jesus. The pastors Nate and Lars are so humble and welcoming, and always say hello to us by name. We look forward to coming to church every Sunday, and our kids LOVE it too!

Joe Vaccaro A lovely place.

Faro Prestigiacomo Wonderful church, their concerts on the grass are fun!!
