Next Steps

Your journey at our church begins with understanding the next steps you can take to grow in faith, connect with others, and actively participate in our community."

Meet Sanctuary

You're invited to join our staff and leaders for Meet Sanctuary -- held every third Sunday after service. It's a great first step into our community, whether you're new to faith, asking questions, or looking to grow your faith.You'll connect with other people in our church community, hear about our purpose in Columbus and where you might fit into God’s developing story at our church.

Covenant Partners

We are called to not only become a part of God’s universal church but also invest in a local community. A powerful way to do this is to become a Covenant Partner with Sanctuary. Come explore what Sanctuary believes, why and how we live it out. The class will look at our story, faith and practice. Anyone who has not yet taken this class is encouraged to sign up.

Covenant Partners Class is held three times a year -- please keep an eye on our Events Page for details on our next offering.

Baptism

For thousands of years, baptism has been a defining moment on the journey of faith in Jesus. In fact, Jesus started His ministry with His own baptism, and concluded His ministry with His final command to His followers. When we take the step of being baptized, it immerses us into the story of Jesus. We die to all that is old and bury it under the water. We are then raised in the power of His resurrection to the new life we can experience in Him. 
Baptism also serves as a powerful marker in your faith story – a necessary step in your spiritual formation.
