Our Statement of Faith

What We Believe:

THE BIBLE IS THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”   2 Timothy 3:16

IN THE TRINITY
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.”   2 Corinthians 13:14

JESUS CHRIST AND HIS BLOOD PROVIDES THE ONLY WAY TO SALVATION
“Jesus saith, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.’ ”   John 14:6
“But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.”   I John 1:7

WATER BAPTISM                                                            
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”   Matthew 28:19

THE LORD’S SUPPER
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till He come.”   1 Corinthians 11:26

BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
“I indeed baptize you with water to repentance.  But He who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.  He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire;”   Matthew 3:11

SANCTIFICATION
“But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;”      1 Peter 1:15

THE CHURCH
“…in whom every building having been framed together, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord; in whom you also are built together for a dwelling place of God through the Spirit.”   Ephesians 2:19-22

DIVINE HEALING
“But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on Him; and with His stripes we ourselves are healed.”   Isaiah 53:5

HEAVEN & HELL
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.”   Psalm 9:17
“…to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in Heaven for you.”   1 Peter 1:4

Phased Reopening of In-Person Services – LATEST INFORMATION

THESE PLANS ARE LIKELY TO CHANGE AS WE MAKE PERIODIC ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE AND THE ADVICE OF HEALTH OFFICIALS.  PLEASE CHECK BACK REGULARLY.

Our priority is to care for God’s people spiritually and physically.  If you are sick or vulnerable to becoming sick, please stay safe by staying home.  Everyone has different comfort levels.  We respect your decisions for your personal safety and that of your family members.



All services will continue to be live streamed through our app, Facebook, YouTube, Roku and on our website.

Here is a list of what you can expect as we reopen in-person services:

  • Reopening will be in phases.  Please see the detailed phases of reopening below.

  • Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the building.
  • Masks are available at the reception counter.

(Staff will assist everyone in being seated to maintain these standards.)  Please understand that we may occasionally ask you to change rows to help maximize safety and capacity.
  • Attendance is capped at 200.  Beginning July 5th you do not need to make reservations.
  • There will be no bulletins or peppermints at the reception counter.  Updates and information are provided through Facebook, the Sanctuary app and online.

To add to your device:

  1. Visit mysanctuary.org/calendar on your mobile device.
  2. Click the appropriate link below.  (You may want to add one or more of these calendars.)
  3. You should get a pop-up notice asking if you want to subscribe to the calendar.  Confirm that you would like to subscribe.

Events
This will add all “events” to the calendar.  This calendar does not include the regularly scheduled services (such as Sunday Worship, Sunday School, etc).  We separate these out because most people know the regular schedule and don’t want so many events to clutter their calendar.

Tentative & Private Events
These events are either: 1) scheduled but not yet confirmed – so they haven’t been made available to the public,  2) not applicable to the public (i.e. setup for an event) or 3) private events that aren’t published as a church function (i.e. a wedding).  You should be able to tell the difference by looking at the event details or considering the context of the event (i.e. “setup for the Jones wedding”).
