Keep reading as we help answer some frequently asked questions.

We have one Sunday experience @ 10:00 am.  The incredible experience features excellent programs for children from birth through 6th grade. We recommend you arrive approximately 15 minutes before the experience so you won't feel rushed, and can get some free coffee!

The Sunday morning worship experience happens at 4645 E Silver Springs Blvd at the intersection of Silver Springs Blvd & NE 46th Ave (across from Lowe's).

From the moment you pull into the parking lot, you'll be able to feel at home. Then, our greeters will be waiting and ready to give directions, or answer any questions you may have.

If you have children, you'll want to take advantage of our safe and secure "Studio 6:7" experiences designed just for them. As you arrive at the kids entrance (to the right of the foyer), you will be able to check-in your child/children and receive corresponding safety tags.

As you enter the main doors, please feel free to stop by and visit our Information Station to get information about the church and upcoming events. The Jehovah Java cafe' is located to your right as you enter the foyer.

From the foyer, you can make your way directly into the Main Sanctuary where our ushers will welcome you, hand you our information-filled weekend worship guide, and direct you to your seat. Then sit back, relax, and enjoy the worship experience!

Please do not feel pressured to give an offering. For The Sanctuary, giving is a time of worship and you should only participate if your heart's desire is to experience God in this wonderful act of devotion.

Whether it is your first time at The Sanctuary, or you've been attending for awhile, you never know what to expect during our 85-minute worship experience. From the moment you walk in the door, until the moment you leave, we are committed to a creative, compelling, and challenging presentation of God's truth.

Lead Pastor, Ken Brown, communicates in a way that speaks to today's postmodern, post-Christian culture. Ken delivers a passionate, straight-forward and honest message focusing on how to apply biblical principles and Christ's teachings to your daily life, in order to experience God's incredible purpose for you. The phenomenal music celebration wraps the weekend message in a relevant way with an amazing diversity of artists and styles chosen for one purpose—to prepare your heart for what God has in store for you.

You'll find safe, fun, and growing programs for your children, from one year olds through 6th grade.  The "Studio 6:7" children's area is located to your right just before you enter the Main Sanctuary. This is your first stop and the place to check-in your child into the appropriate area and get your corresponding safety tag(s). Every child will have a safety tag and church profile that will label personal belongings and mark special needs of any kind from food allergies to physical or mental handicaps. We are committed to providing the safest environment possible for your children. The Studio is divided into three separate areas: Nursery (1–3); Toddler (3 years old–Pre-K5 years old), and Elementary (K–6th grade).

The entire "Studio 6:7" Stage is located in one area of the building for easy access and safety.  The Sanctuary is committed to every child.  Our Kids Staff is prepared to build lasting relationships and minister to your child no matter what personal challenges he/she might be facing.  Your son or daughter has a place to belong at The Sanctuary no matter what!

Ultimately, your kids will experience church like never before, with the latest games, music and video, created to present God's truth in fun and innovative ways. They won't want to miss a single experience and will be begging for more!
