Kingdom Academy - Preschool Ministry  |  Kingdom Academy Preschool began as a vision of The Living Sanctuary Church, September 25, 2000, to minister to the working family community.
    Philosophy: We believe that children are a gift from God, given to us to love, nurture and train to become all that God wants them to become. We want to be an extension of you, the parent, believing staff and parents must communicate and work hand in hand for the benefit of the child. We provide a loving Christian atmosphere where your child will grow and mature in all areas of social and emotional development, spiritual growth, and in physical and educational skills developed for his/her age level.  For More information contact Kingdom Academy at 941/365-5433.

Men's Ministry  |  Events such as paintballing, fishing, video game (Madden!) tournaments, flag football & more are on the docket...  Contact Pastor Jon Ladd for questions or more information.

(WOW) Women of the Word - Women's Ministry  |  As the women of The Living Sanctuary, we are in hot pursuit of God and how to mirror His image in our personal lives, in our friendships,  in our church, and in the world around us.  We desire to get beyond the “masks, barriers, and walls” that we so easily build around ourselves, and press into the lives of those that are around us.  We do this by learning to be vulnerable, learning to trust, learning to love each other…and this comes through regular interaction in W.O.W. (Women of the Word) gatherings!  We enjoy reading the Word together, traveling to women’s conferences, sharing dinners and movie nights, chocolate fountain dessert nights…we have a lot of fun and laugh together as we build relationships with each other!  If you’d like to join in on the next W.O.W. gathering, contact The Living Sanctuary office at 941/354-5433.

Youth Ministry  |  We have an active youth group for teens between the ages of 13 & 19 here at The Living Sanctuary, led by our Youth Pastors, Ricardo & Priscilla Neves.  The youth group meets every Wednesday night at 7:00 P.M. The ongoing vision of the youth  group is to take discipleship to the next level by providing young people with the opportunity to walk out the gifts and callings on their lives in a ministry setting. The youth group exists to bring glory to God using music and drama as tools to stir up the body of Christ and to reach the lost. Exciting activities include trips to concerts, youth rallies, Acquire The Fire, and missions trips. 

Children's Church Ministry  |  Children’s Church meets following the Praise & Worship portion of our Sunday morning and Wednesday evening services. Our Children's Pastors,  Ray & Vinola Rodrigues,  provide an exciting and educational time.
