| We are
delighted that you have decided to learn more about our Ministry. You
are invited to visit, if you're ever in the Appleton, Wisconsin area.
We celebrate
Christ and serve our community with ferverance, sincerity and
integrity. Appleton Sanctuary is a ministry with vision! The
Bible exhorts without vision people perish, Proverbs 29:18 "Where
there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law,
happy is he."
"Godly vision is not a
delusion; it is not mere aspiration. Godly vision, serves as
communication and direction for the Believer. In ministry, Godly
vision provides a glimpse at possibilities, in all realms. It also
reveals the potential, which is inherent in all of us because of the indwelling
of His
spirit."
Dr. G. Manns, DD |

Believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God. We Believe in the regenerative
process of God, for man, through baptism of Water and Spirit. We
Believe in the power of God, as evidenced through the Gifts of the
Spirit. We Believe there is
One God, One body of Christ, comprised of many members, beautiful in the
diversity of their created ethnicity.

& Friendship is Extended to Everyone! |
