The Sanctuary Downtown Information

The Sanctuary holds to a theology very common to most churches, yet we also feel called to a theological distinctive that’s a bit new for some. We believe that the work of Christ on the cross was a complete success. In 2010 The Board of the Sanctuary approved the following statement. We don’t ask people to agree to this statement and we don’t use it as a test for “membership.” We just hope to clarify the message that we have been called to proclaim. The Sanctuary seeks to represent these under-represented truths: God is One, and so His judgment is Love. God is Love, and so desires to save. God is Almighty, and so can save. God is Jesus, and so does save. “For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell. And through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross” (Col. 1:19-20 ESV).
