Peace and greetings from The Father and the Son.

Hello, you may know of us through our Internet outreach, Truth on the Web Ministries, and our local congregation, A Church of God at Woodstock, IL. Here, in this godly pursuit, we represent a small network of independent Sabbath-Keepers. The spirit has impressed upon us to seek to obtain/build a Sabbath/Holyday Feast-keeper site (preferably near a lake or river) with a Sanctuary (meeting place), camping sites, rustic cabins, gardens, a Sabbath Trail for walking/hiking with meditative signs to contemplate along the journey and even a bible-based museum building for the saints. Such a site could provide free feast accommodations to many brethren. Out of season, could be used as a retreat, VBS camp, etc. to offset costs.

We are calling this new ministry effort "Sabbath Sanctuary Ministry" and we are reaching out to brethren in a move of faith. Ask, Seek, Knock. If the spirit has ever led you to think that brethren would benefit from a sabbatical retreat and feast site then this is your opportunity to act on the spirit's prompting. If you would like to help us in this adventure please consider a donation in any amount. The effort is one that will ultimately glorify the Father and be useful to His household of the Saints or we would not take on the mission. He is first in all things.

The Pastors & Elders of any of our loosely affiliated congregations take no salary for ministerial work. None of the associated groups or individuals sell bible-related materials or sermons, like other ministries you may know of which merchandise the Brethren, for we believe that is improper to do. Freely we receive so freely we give. We also rely on the spirit working in YOU, the Saints, to help in God's (YHWH) work. We would like you to partner with us in this effort for the children of the Kingdom of Heaven. We will post project updates and pictures along the way so you can follow with what your gifts and contributions are doing for the ministry. We will fast and pray before moving forward with any bids so to allow the Spirit to take the lead.

2 Corinthians 9:6-9 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

1 Corinthians 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

Matthew 10:41-42 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

Financial Help

It is our potential goal to make the Sabbath Sanctuary a self sustaining property possibly through opening to the public on non-Sabbath & non-holyday dates and/or also mineral and timber mining, if available on location, we need to ask for donations to get the project off the drawing table and into reality. We do not ask for financial help lightly, as we are well aware that many churches, charities and even individual poor people often misuse what they receive. Many of the places in the Bible where others were asked to give an offering, it was for a specific purpose—a purpose that they could see fulfilled (Exodus 25:1-8; Romans 15:26; 1 Corinthians 16:1-3). Similarly, we encourage brethren and friends who want to help us to contribute to this specific project, and to observe (if possible) its progress and completion.

Everyone will be welcome to visit any properties acquired by Sabbath Sanctuary Ministries to observe the work there, or to examine our methods of using the offerings given to us for our projects. We will post on this website our progress as thing develop. We can also post, e-mail or mail documentation or photos as requested by contributors.

We have not filed IRS form 1023 to receive “501(c)3 tax exempt status”; but the instructions for form 1023 are in IRS publication 557 (Rev Nov. 99, page 21, col. 3.) which says:
“Although a church, its integrated auxiliaries, or a convention or association of churches is not required to file Form 1023 to be exempt from federal income tax or to receive tax deductible contributions, the organization may find it advantageous to obtain recognition of exemption…”
We rely on the Constitutional tax exemption of ministries and churches, rather than apply for “501(c)3 tax exempt status”, which brings an organization under federal government control to some degree. (For more on this topic, our friends at unaffiliated Port Austin Bible Church developed information you may read by clicking here.) It is our understanding that when a check is made to an entity that is not in the list of 501(c)3 organizations, the IRS judges from the name on the check whether to allow deductions or not. If the name does not appear to them to be a church or ministry, they may disallow the deduction, requiring the taxpayer to prove that it is a functioning church or ministry. If tax-deductibility is important, an offering to the Sabbath Sanctuary Ministries is the most likely to be unchallenged.
