Featuring Tiffany stained glass windows and a beautiful organ, the Sanctuary has been described as a pocket cathedral. It is located at the corner of West 6th and Elm in Bristow, Oklahoma.

Their mission statement is: "Our community of faith, led by the Holy Spirit, is dedicated to worshiping and serving God and sharing the love of Jesus Christ."
