You Belong Here
We are so glad you're here! At 1C | The Sanctuary, we believe God has a unique purpose for your life. Whether you're searching for answers or looking for a community to call home, our doors are open to you.
Our vision is to see our community living in the joy, freedom, and peace of Jesus. We accomplish that by three simple goals:
Meet Jesus. Make Friends. Make a Difference.
We believe you'll see a church determined to do those very things here!

What to Expect

Teaching
We share practical, Bible-based messages that help you meet Jesus and be assured of His love and forgiveness of you.

Components
Each service we celebrate the Lord's Supper together, enjoy a Kids Message on our topic, hear a Scripture reading, and recite the Apostle's Creed. We regularly celebrate Baptisms as well.

Community
From the moment you walk in, you'll find a welcoming atmosphere. Grab a free coffee and cookie, meet some new friends, and feel right at home with the 1C family.

Kids & Youth
We believe that families that worship together have the greatest success at lifelong connection. Kids and Teens are included in our services. There is a Kids Message during the service - kids come forward, interact with the message, and leave with a take-home item.
Nursery is for kids ages 6 months - 3 years. It's a play-based (or sleep-based when needing a nap!) experience with qualified and background-checked leaders.
Security & Safety: Your child's safety is our highest priority. We use a secure check-in system for all children for Nursery. The Nursery is located next to the Sanctuary and is marked for checkin.

Where do I park?
We have a large parking lot in front of our building, easily accessed from 28th Avenue. Our main doors are the west doors (or 'on the right' when facing our building). Come early and enjoy free coffee and cookies, or you may purchase specialty coffee and breakfast items from our tenant, The Broken Mug.
