To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry,
Release the prisoners, Teach the nations, To bring Christ to all,
To make music in the hearts

At The Sanctuary we believe worship is the heart of the church. But that is just the beginning. As we are taught the Word and are challenged to grow spiritually, we find ourselves reaching out to those in need of the Gospel in everything we do. We are His hands and feet in which God moves and ministers to those around us.

We become willing and eager to share what talents, time and resources we have to help. Sometimes that means collecting food for the Salvation Army. Sometimes that means helping to prayerfully and financially support our students studying for the ministry, serving in the military, going on and sponsoring missions trips or simply listening to each other.

Listed below are several of our ministries, past and present.

• Soaring On Wings, Jessica Goddard's Mission to Mexico. Please visit this site for indepth information on how to participate.

• The DISCOVERY CLUB is a 6 week program for all kids under 13, Running from July 9th at 6:30 pm through August 13th. This year's theme is Backyard Missions.
