Get connected in Group Life!

Our desire is to see each person at The Sanctuary connect with other believers to help them grow in their faith, develop meaningful relationship and form a community that can support them in life.

Growth Groups

Growth Groups are groups of 8 to 16 adults who get together once a week or every other week to grow in relationship with God and in relationship with others. Members come alongside each other to study and apply God’s word to their lives, have fun, serve others, eat good food and a whole lot more! Groups meet in area homes or at The Sanctuary.

Women’s Link

Women’s Link provides year-round opportunities for women of all ages and stages of life to connect and grow with other women in our church body.  We host women’s Bible studies, a Christmas Tea, retreats, and other fun ways of going deeper with one another.

Our vision with Women’s Link is to help women connect to God and make connections with other women. We hope to do that in several ways.

  • Inspire, encourage, and motivate women to follow Christ.
  • Plan events throughout the year that will give women a chance to get to know a variety of women in our church body.
  • Support women in their spiritual gifts.
  • Disciple women in the faith.

COMING UP:

Whether you are a triathlon athlete or can barely make it up a flight of stairs, women of all ages and abilities will bond as they conquer team building activities in Lake Geneva, WI. Sign up to participate in this exciting afternoon which will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. April 28.
