About
A Christ-centered, Word-based and Spirit-empowered ministry.
The Sanctuary Church of God International
Making the heart of man a dwelling place for the Lord
The Sanctuary Church of God International (SCOG INT'L), also known as Faith Chapel International, is a Christ-centered, Word-based and Spirit-empowered ministry established with a divine burden to see the heart of man become a dwelling place for the Lord.
At the center of SCOG INT'L is a simple but profound conviction: God does not merely desire to visit man; He desires to dwell in man. The name Sanctuary therefore expresses more than a physical place of worship — it speaks of the human heart becoming a habitation of God.
Our Vision
Making the Heart of Man a Dwelling Place for the Lord
We believe God does not merely desire to visit man; He desires to dwell in man. The vision of SCOG INT'L is to see human hearts become living sanctuaries of God's presence.
We desire to see Christ formed in people until their hearts become His sanctuary, their lives become His altar, their bodies become His temple, their character reflects His nature, their words communicate His truth, their hands serve His purpose, and their lives reveal His glory.
Our assignment is not merely to build a congregation, but to build people in whom Christ lives and through whom Christ can be revealed.
Our Mission
SCOG INT'L is committed to making this vision a reality by:
- Preaching Jesus Christ and the whole counsel of God's Word.
- Leading people to salvation and genuine encounters with God.
- Making disciples firmly established in the Word.
- Cultivating the presence of the Holy Spirit in believers' lives.
- Helping Christ to be formed in people through teaching, discipleship and spiritual development.
- Raising kingdom-minded leaders who influence their generation.
- Strengthening marriages and families on biblical principles.
- Equipping young people to discover and fulfil their God-given purpose.
- Advancing evangelism and missions locally and internationally.
- Using media and technology to carry the Gospel beyond our walls.
- Building strategic partnerships for the advancement of God's Kingdom.
Our Core Conviction
The greatest sanctuary God can inhabit is a yielded human heart. A church building can accommodate a congregation, but only a surrendered heart can become a habitation for Christ. We are not simply interested in gathering people; we want to see people transformed.
