Frequently Asked Questions

Sandals Church Anywhere is a robust churchlike experience in a remote location. It is the fullness of Sandals Church in a home, office, restaurant, or wherever you envision it! We like to think of it in three components. It is the combination of experiencing the weekly service with a group of people, then working it out in community groups, and with access to remote ministries (Soul Care, Path groups, all the ministries Sandals offers at their physical campuses)!

Sandals Church Anywhere is a community group and then some. Community groups typically meet on a weekly basis to dive deeper into discussion questions and walk with each other through various seasons of life. While this is a component of Sandals Church Anywhere, it is not the full picture. Sandals Church Anywhere also includes the weekly service experience and ministry support.

The Sandals Church Anywhere experience is in person. We hope that you’ll gather friends, family, and co-workers to gather in your space and experience what it means to be real with ourselves, God, and others.

The ideal Sandals Church Anywhere location host exudes some key characteristics. We are looking for people who are hospitable, LOVE the vision of being real with ourselves, God, and others, and are willing to facilitate this experience in their community while inviting others to join them!

To start a Sandals Church Anywhere, all you need are three or more people. This can be family, friends, co-workers- you name it! The priority is the quality and health of the location, not the number of attendees. While we hope it grows and you continue to invite others into this experience, quantity is not our top concern.

Look for another space! Get creative. Look into community centers, restaurants, parks, etc. We can help you brainstorm!
