ABOUT US

PURSUING GOD'S PRESENCE, & BEING TRANSFORMED, TOGETHER

Sanctuary is a non-denominational, biblically based, community-focused church. We are compelled by God's love to carry the fullness of His kingdom to our world. We exist to declare and demonstrate the liberating power of the Gospel, and our purpose is to pursue God's presence, and to be transformed into His image, together.

We are a praying church that believes personal and corporate conversation with Jesus brings freedom, revelation, and purpose.

GOD'S VOICE

We listen for God’s voice and value the opportunity to know and follow Him.

John 10:27

JOINING WITH HEAVEN

We join with heaven through intimate worship, prayer, intercession and outreach. Hebrews

4:16

GROWTH AS A JOURNEY

We are committed to a life-long process of personal restoration so that we can live a life empowered to fulfill our destiny.

Isaiah 61

YOU

We respect each other, knowing that all people are unconditionally loved by God and have intrinsic value, gifts, and talents.

Mark 12:31

HOUSE OF PRAYER

Get Prayer Now

In 2022, through prophetic prayer, God declared over Sanctuary that "My House is a House of prayer." Since then, we have strived to center prayer as the core rhythm of our DNA. We meet multiple times a week to pray together, and our prayer team is available after every service for personal, inner-healing prayer.
