Who We Are
About S.E.C.
We are a “non-denominational” Christian church. We are “Charismatic” as we stand on the gifts of the Spirit referenced in 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. We believe in the Five-Fold Ministry expressed in Ephesians 4:11-13; and we operate in the knowledge that all five areas are still relevant and functioning today. We are “Pentecostal” in that we hold true to the experience of the Pentecost in Acts 2:4, 10:44 and 19:6 and thereby believe in the laying on of hands and speaking in other tongues.
THEME SCRIPTURE
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. - Romans 12:2 NLT
OUR MISSION
Empowering people for purposeful living is not just a statement; it’s our mentality. At Sanctuary, you will be empowered to walk out your God given purpose and given the tools to be successful in your everyday life.
Our Founders: Apostles Milford and Evelyn Carter
Sanctuary Evangelistic Church was established by Apostles Milford and Evelyn Carter, who have dedicated their lives to sharing the message of hope and restoration through Jesus Christ. With a deep commitment to the Apostolic and 5-Fold Ministry, they have been faithful shepherds, equipping and empowering the body of Christ to live fully as Kingdom Citizens.
Apostle Milford Carter is known for his passion for teaching the Word of God with clarity and power, helping believers grow in their faith and walk in their God-given authority. His heart for outreach has led SEC to become a beacon of hope in the community, bringing practical help and spiritual guidance to those in need.
Apostle Evelyn Carter is a powerful leader and visionary who brings a nurturing spirit to the ministry. With a heart for prayer, mentorship, and the prophetic, she has been instrumental in leading many to discover their divine purpose and operate in their spiritual gifts. Together, the Carters have cultivated a culture of love, healing, and transformation at SEC.
Through their leadership, Sanctuary Evangelistic Church has grown into a thriving community where people from all walks of life can experience restoration, become fully equipped Kingdom Citizens, and live out their purpose in God’s Kingdom.
About SEC
The vision of our ministry is wrapped up in the acronym of S.E.E.
S – Spiritual self esteem
This relates to our identity in Christ as heirs to His promises and recipients of His divine nature. We are created in His image, and we reflect His glory in our lives.
E – Economics
As citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, we are involved in God’s economy. As such, we operate with Kingdom Currency, understanding that our resources are not limited by this dimension, but we draw from heaven’s endless supply.
E- Education
We are admonished by God to study to show ourselves approved workmen that need not be ashamed but rightly dividing the word of God. This involves man on every level – spirit and body. Education transforms families, communities, and culture.
As such, we invite you to COME + S.E.E. as we work to passionately fulfill the needs of our community in these three critical areas!
