Sunday essentials

What to expect on a Sunday

Every Sanctus location shares the same heart for hospitality, worship, and biblical teaching. Here's what unfolds when you walk through our doors on Sunday morning.

A Warm Welcome Awaits

From the moment you arrive, our Guest Services team and friendly greeters are here to make your visit easy and welcoming. Whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after a while, we’re ready to answer your questions, help you find your way, and connect you with whatever you need.

Worship and Teaching

Each 75-minute service includes Spirit-led worship, engaging music, and relevant, biblical teaching. Rooted in Scripture and the work of the Holy Spirit, our gatherings are designed to help you encounter God—whether you’re exploring faith or growing deeper in your walk with Jesus.

Kids & Youth Programming

From babies to Grade 8, our Sunday programs offer safe, age-specific spaces where kids and youth can grow in faith through worship, teaching, games, and fun. Digital check-in ensures peace of mind for parents.

Come As You Are

You don’t need to dress up or have it all together—just come as you are. You’ll see people in jeans, hoodies, dress shirts, and everything in between. We care more about hearts than appearances, and there’s space here for everyone.

Prayer & Support

After each service, our trained prayer teams are available to pray with you. Whether you’re processing something from the message, seeking healing, or simply need encouragement, we’re here to walk with you in prayer.
