Our Mission
Connect. Grow. Serve.
Connect
WITH GOD
There is nothing more important than developing a relationship with God. At The Sanctuary this is the main focus. During the service, you will experience passionate prayer, engaging worship, and relatable messages.
WITH HIS PEOPLE
Living for God was not meant to be done alone. We wholeheartedly believe in taking this journey together. A large part of services and culture is connecting with and encouraging one another.
Grow
THROUGH SMALL GROUPS
Every week you will have an opportunity to get together with other believers in a casual setting to learn about and study the Word of God. These groups are about connecting with people in a setting where you can feel comfortable asking questions.
IN FELLOWSHIP
The church isn't limited to a building! The people are the church. You'll find a great and diverse group of people that you can develop a friendship with. We want everyone to feel like the church is their family.
Serve
THE CHURCH
Everyone has a place where they can be involved. Serving creates an incredible opportunity to walk along the path God has created for us. It also gives us the ability to be a part of God changing the lives of others.
THE COMMUNITY
We believe community service is an essential part of a church being a church. Currently, we partner with Sheaves for Christ which supports charities like Tupelo Children's Mansion and Lighthouse Ranch for Boys. In 2018 we will have our first 'Love Week' will all members of the church will get a chance to partner with charities from around the Vernon area.

BELIEFS
ABOUT THE BIBLE
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. (See II Timothy 3:15-17.)
ABOUT GOD
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (See Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.)
ABOUT SIN AND SALVATION
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (See Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.)
ABOUT THE GOSPEL
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). (See I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4.)
FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINE
We believe in the Bible standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. (See Acts 2:3-4, 2:38, 10:45-47, 19:1-7, Mark 16:7)
ABOUT CHRISTIAN LIVING
As Christians, we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (See Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10.)
