Our Story

1C | The Sanctuary is a Church of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. In 2007, 3 Churches in Columbus were commissioned to start a seed Church in Columbus, NE, to specifically reach out to the un-churched and de-churched. We strive to meet people where they are at in life. We invite everyone to come as they are. Grab a free cup of coffee and a cookie, and hear the Word of God, and meet Jesus.
