  It all began with a dream ...
On September 9, 2001, two days before history was shaken with the catastrophic events of 9-11, a new church was launched with a very specific dream ...

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.

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.

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 want to become that kind of church — the way the church was described in the Bible, with relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships and prayer and loving care for those in need. That is our dream for The Sanctuary; to be a church for your heart, mind and spirit.
I invite you to join with us in making this dream a reality. We’re not building a perfect church, but we’re building a great church. A church that makes sense. A church that, we believe, would please God. We think you’re going to like it too.
