We believe that age and gender specific ministries have a key role in the Church. As such, we provide contexts where people can worship and learn together on Sundays, but also in smaller gatherings with their peers so that we can process life along with others in the same place.

Sundays should be the best hour and a half of every kids week.

Community Groups are small diverse groups of people that get together once a week to share a meal, have some fun, discuss their faith journeys and how they can help those in need. Each group is led by a team with a leader, a host and a communicator. Look at the groups below, see where you might fit and take a step to deeper relationships.

Connect. Grow. Serve.

Joining with other students each week to know God and live together.

Are you 18-28? Join us as at INTEGRATE, a ministry dedicated to integrating God’s love and truth so that we can discover and live out who we were created to be. Integrate meets the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. Questions? Email Pastor Jonathan Edwards.

Girls of all ages, celebrating the feminine heart by sharing real life together, fully embracing God's love and truth.

Women are usually too busy taking care of everyone else and not themselves. The “tug-of-war” between responsibilities, family and relationships pulls in all directions. So many women work full-time, both in and out of the home, creating a need for renewal. If any of this describes you, we think it's time for change!

Opportunities of camaraderie and friendship are in store for you during times of sharing meals, practical teaching, social activities around town and worshiping God together through special seasonal events and small groups. The teaching topics and venues may vary from gathering to gathering, but the outcome is always the same: you go home ready to tackle your life once again. Our goal is to provide a safe place for women to meet, share, and live our faith together.

We are sons of God, created for relationship who honor Him in all aspects of life by living to influence our world.

Men’s ministry at The Sanctuary is about advancing. With everything around us rapidly changing, from technology to the economy, the necessity to advance grows increasingly more important.

As The Sanctuary, we strive to define who we are and what we do with the Word of God (the Bible).

Throughout the year the men realign with their identities by participating in activities including: paintball, backpacking, Community Groups, GROWth groups and special events. Check out The Sanctuary online calendar for details on all that’s happening.

Men. We need each other. Start your Saturday off right as we gather together for a time of fellowship and hearing from the Word. We will have coffee and doughnuts.

CARE | guidance, visitation & grief recovery

Bringing support in difficult times and celebrating with you in the good ones.

Life is crazy -- sometimes amazing and difficult at others. Through the ups and downs of birth and death, marriage and divorce, relational health and brokenness, promotions and lay-offs, the trials and victories of our lives hit us all in different ways. But in one thing we are the same. We all need help.

For some, it's the guidance needed to navigate marital conflict or addiction. For others it's the community that rallies to prepare meals when a loved one passes away or when you welcome that new little one into this world. And yet for others still it's a box of food to carry you through to that next paycheck when employment becomes scarce.

The Bible guarantees that we will face difficult times, but that Jesus is our hope, our peace and our victory in them (John 16:33).

At The Sanctuary we strive to be a safe place no matter what season you find yourself in. For more information please contact our pastor of Care Ministries, Jen Lord, as we want to make sure you have every opportunity available to endure your storm with grace, peace and in the the community we were made for.

WORSHIP ARTS | music, media & drama

Worship. As humans we can't help but worship something. A hobby, a celebrity, a significant other, even our families can become idols in our lives. Our culture is full of worship and we believe that it's no mistake that much of our worship is focused on the "artists." At The Sanctuary our Worship Arts ministry aims to keep the focus on the only One worthy of worship -- the One who gave us art as an expression.

Though our most frequent expression of worship as a congregation is through music, we believe that God created the "Arts" for His glory. In centuries past paintings of all sizes and styles were commissioned by the Church to draw people's eyes off themselves and focus them on the One who is greater. In our modern society, the tools have expanded and the expressions as a result have done so as well, but whether it's a video camera, a guitar, an actor, a virtual paint brush or a real one, we believe God is calling the Arts back from the world... to the Church.

If you're an artist of any sort, there are plenty of opportunities to serve God with your gift. Our Worship Arts ministry includes media, music and theatre/film with chances to serve seasonally or even on a monthly or weekly basis. If you're interested let us know and we'll be in touch with more details on how you can get involved.

COMMUNITY CARE | feeding the hungry

We are a food-sharing ministry at The Sanctuary to help meet the food needs first within the community, both at our church and around Santa Clarita. We make this possible by collecting, transporting, storing and distributing the food donated by the congregation.

Community Care was started and is maintained by people attending, partnering and faithfully giving at The Sanctuary. It is this partnership that allows a ministry like this to THRIVE, as Community Care continues to provided practical resources (food, toiletries, cleaning supplies, etc.) to families in and outside of our congregation.

Dan Suess is the man in charge and the one who helped start this amazing, practical outreach and source of provision for many at and around The Sanctuary. Email him if you would like more information.
