About Our Church

Thanks for knocking on our “door”. Basically, we are a very warm and friendly community of Christ followers who believe in loving and caring for each other and our community, living on-mission as we follow Jesus. We gather on Sundays to worship in song, community, encouragement, open our lives to the Word, pray, and celebrate together. Children and youth are a high value of ours, hosting opportunities for the younger generations to know and grow in the Lord. We have various gatherings throughout the week as you’ll see from our events page and calendar, valuing smaller circles and table settings. If you would like more detailed information, read on 😉

Our Beliefs

We are a Foursquare Church, meaning we are a part of a global community of thousands of church communities who acknowledge that Jesus Christ is “the same yesterday, today, and forever” Hebrews 13:8

We believe that Jesus is the Savior, Healer, Baptizer, and Soon Coming King. These theological realities shape our hope in and worship of Jesus.

Generosity is our privilege because Jesus was first generous towards us. Join with the vision of Living Way Fellowship to make an impact in the Sandy community.

We believe giving is at the heart of the message of the Gospel. John 3:16 says, “God loved the world so much that He gave…” Money can be a sensitive issue in the context of church, but it is also one of the best determining factors on the disposition of our hearts, according to Jesus (Matthew 6:19).
