The Fund supports ministry staff in Santa Cruz County, fostering collaboration to address the challenges of our costly region— which is rated one of the least affordable housing markets in the world. As partners, we work together to provide housing solutions for our staff—and the Fund streamlines this effort. The Fund hosts restricted accounts for each ministry and a Better Together fund to bolster collective ministry endeavors.
We welcome new ministry partners who share our commitment to embodying Kingdom values such as stewardship, transparency, accountability, hope, unity, fairness, justice, stability, and sustainability. This initiative serves as both a community witness and a call to action, urging believers to support ministry staff in Santa Cruz County.

This holiday season, housing support is on MVC philanthropic wish list. This is a new, leveraged approach to providing housing resources for our beloved teachers. It is essential for recruitment and retention. The Holy Spirit guides some people to support athletics, others the arts. Monte Vista also needs engagement from stakeholders that are called to the long-term strategic value of funding housing solutions.
It’s time to invest in equity shares for our pastors. We can’t pay pastors enough for them to save their way into home ownership. The only way to close the gap between what they can afford (mortgage + down payment) and the cost of a house, is participation by Kingdom-minded donors and investors.
Let’s make sure Baymonte teachers can leverage public sector opportunities. And for the teachers already in affordable housing developments, the goal is to develop a pool of funds for equity shares.
