Our Story

We desire to be a place of His healing presence.

We are a community of Christ followers.   We value God’s truth, the Bible.  We value people, hurting and whole.  We value relationships and community.

The Sanctuary began with prayer services in June of 2006.  Our first services were in a borrowed facility in August of that year.  God grew our fellowship and soon the congregation moved to the auditorium at the Columbia County Library.  As the number of ministry programs increased so did the need for new facilities.

In April 2007 God provided the finance and means to purchase a church building located in the heart of Evans.  This would provide an auditorium, meeting rooms, fellowship space and offices.

In 2010 The Sanctuary completed work on a new 800 seat auditorium with coffee shop, lobby, bookstore and additional office space.

In 2020 The Sanctuary dedicated a newly constructed Activities Center including a gymnasium, commercial kitchen and classrooms.  This facility provided much needed expansion for our Awana program as well as enabling us to expand outreach through sports and recreation activities.

Today The Sanctuary offers three weekly services and more than 50 Connections groups where you can find your place to make new friends, grow in Christ and serve in community.
