"Sanctuary - should not mean a place of safety from risks, but a safe place to take risks and a place to deepen a risk-all faith!"
1) a safe haven; a place of security or refuge.
2) being in the presence of God; a setting of spiritual significance.
A Safe Place (A Church for Your Heart)
We, like you, have dreamed of a safe place where people from all backgrounds and various places on their spiritual journey could meet to find out what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. A place of acceptance. A place of encouragement. We promise not to embarrass you. Perhaps it’s best said as “Real People building a Real Church in Relationship with a Real God.”
A Place to Grow (A Church for Your Mind)
We, like you, have dreamed of being part of a spiritual community where faith and reason were not contradictions. If God doesn't make sense — who does? We dream of a place where our most honest questions are not dismissed, but openly discussed. A place where our nagging doubts could be satisfied in a way that makes sense with clear and articulate answers. We promise that we will be real (and we'll let you be real too).
A Place of Spiritual Significance (A Church for Your Spirit)
We, like you, have dreamed of a place, so that whether you are a spiritual seeker and just starting to ask those "God questions," or already a committed Christian who wants to deepen your faith, you could be spiritually challenged and equipped to grow. A place that is real, not ‘make-believe’. An authentic worship community. We promise not to compromise our faith.
The Sanctuary: Not Christianity-Lite, Christianity Lived!
Living Out the Dream:
- Weekly ‘Community Service’ to celebrate, worship and share experiences within our faith, including: Teaching, Praise & Worship, Community.
- Regular opportunities for ‘Small Groups’ to share in growth, discipleship and friendship.
- Planting of ‘New Church Communities’ designed to connect within specific areas and needs outside of Community Service & Small Groups.
