What We Believe

Historic Christian Orthodoxy
Sanctuary Church holds to the historic teachings of Christian orthodoxy as articulated in the Apostle’s Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Chalcedonian Creed, and the Athanasian CreedWe also subscribe to recent summaries of Christian doctrine as formulated in the Lausanne Covenant (and the subsequent Manila Manifesto and Cape Town Commitment) and the NAE Statement of Faith.

The Gospel
We believe the Gospel is the good news that God our Father, the Creator, out of His great love for us, has come to rescue us from sin, satan, death, and hell, and to renew all things in and through the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, and to establish His Kingdom through His people, in the power of the Holy Spirit. This is for God’s great glory and our profound joy.

Distinctives
As a part of the Newfrontiers and Confluence family of churches, we join in their shared values, beliefs, mission and relationships. In our theology, we are generally reformed in our emphasis on the grace of God and justification by faith alone, and generally charismatic in our doctrine and pursuit of the gifts of the Spirit.
