Missions

Jesus said, "Do you love me? Take care of my sheep." John 21:16

His message is clear. If we love Him we will take care of his people.

The mission ethic of The Sanctuary is described in our statement of purpose: "using our natural and spiritual gifts in ministry to the church and to the world." While we are committed to sharing our financial resources with many Christian programs, we also work directly with individuals in need.

Locally, we serve the homeless community, needy children and assist the elderly. We continually collect, deliver and help distribute food, clothing and toiletries to the homeless. Our active involvement with women's prison ministry provides support to imprisoned women as well as assistance carving out a new life - often in an uncertain and even fearsome environment. Seasonal mission-related programs are supported by our congregation throughout the year allowing each of us the opportunity to share our time and talents in provision for others.

Globally, we are challenged to physically reach unfamiliar areas and experience cultures of the many who struggle simply to survive. While easing immediate need, we hope to exhibit God's love and incorporate improvements into an existing way of life. We have traveled to the village of Sabanagrande, Honduras to care for orphans and the elderly, built a dental clinic and a baseball program and left behind the assurance of our continued love and prayers. The Sanctuary has helped to spread the message of His love in Africa with the gathering, packaging and shipping of books to Nigeria. We are also involved in the ministry of Eziama Grace, creating hope and support in the lives of rural Nigeria.
