The Sanctuary 2.0
You’re Invited to Be Part of What’s Next…

As our current lease is ending and the building is set for demolition, a new opportunity has opened right in the heart of Tauranga.

For the past four years, The Sanctuary has quietly served as a facility in the Tauranga CBD supporting churches, ministries, and believers across the city.

From city wide worship & prayer to ministry training, various gatherings and Bible studies, it has become a place of connection and purpose.

As demand has grown, so has our conviction: this space has always been part of a bigger story, one of unity, mission, and God’s heart for our city.

“That they all may be one… that the world may believe that You sent Me.” – John 17:21

We are excited to invite you to be a part of what’s next on the journey.

More Room, Greater Impact

In a way that only God could orchestrate, a much larger facility has opened right in the heart of Tauranga.

This new space will allow for:

  • Multiple ministries and gatherings to run at the same time
  • Workspaces for Kingdom-minded businesses and Individuals
  • Environments for worship, prayer, teaching, discipleship, conferences / events and more

Your Contribution Makes a Real Difference

While we expect day-to-day costs to be covered through ongoing use, our immediate focus is Phase One: the initial fit-out, transforming the facility into a warm, functional environment for Kingdom use.

A generous community member has pledged a $1-for-every-$2 donation match, up to $75,000, bringing our fundraising target to NZD $150,000.

Estimated fit-out cost: NZD $200,000–$225,000
Phase One Goal: Raise or pledge $75,000 by June 26th.
This first milestone allows us to secure the lease, begin preparations, and take the first steps toward opening the space.

We’re so grateful for everyone who’s been part of the Sanctuary so far. This next step builds on your faithfulness. It’s not a new project, but the expansion of what has already begun. 

Thank you for your continued prayer, support, and consideration.
