Vintage Faith Church was opened in 2004 as an alternative to the traditional church services offered in Santa Cruz. The church wants to "go back to the 'vintage' values that Jesus spoke about, rather than being trapped by what has often become known as stagnant 'organized' religion."
The church runs a coffee shop called The Abbey that also provides an art space for the church. A courtyard opens out from The Abbey with shaded tables and chairs. A variety of handmade art items are for sale in the coffeehouse.
A variety of youth programs are offered at Vintage Faith Church. A gymnasium is part of the church facilities.
