Why Join Us Live at Woodcrest?

Gatherings
Experience the richness of gathering as a community. It’s a time of depth, growth, learning, and true connection. Through meaningful teachings, singing, and shared stories, we find understanding and inspiration that can reach something deeper within us.

Community
Being part of a community reminds us that we’re not alone. It’s about supporting each other through prayer, conversation, serving, and acts of kindness. By staying connected, you’ll have the opportunity to build lasting relationships and find encouragement to grow, no matter where you are in life.

Events
Sandals Church Woodcrest offers fantastic spaces for everyone to enjoy. We have a vibrant area for our Youth to hang out and have fun, comfortable meeting rooms for groups, and designated safe kids rooms. Arrive early on a Sunday or Saturday to unwind in the welcoming lobby area and enjoy a coffee from our Cafe before our gatherings.
Helping the next generation find belonging

Kids
At Sandals Church Kids, your child will learn through fun, stories, music, and games in small groups designed to build understanding and friendships and suit their age and development. On your way to our gatherings, drop your kids off with our team members who are carefully chosen, fully background-checked, and trained to prioritize your child’s safety.

Youth
Midweek service and small groups offer students and teens a space to feel known, have fun, be honest, and build genuine relationships with God and others. Every Wednesday night, we begin with an element of fun, then hear a message, followed by small group discussions led by our dedicated volunteers, where we dive deeper into the night’s topic and its impact on our lives and faith.

Young Adults
Let’s be real, adulting is hard, you don’t have to do it alone! We’re here to support young people as they connect with Jesus and find their place in the church community. This is where you’ll meet friends, find belonging, and discover your purpose and identity. The YA Community is here to help you find your place in all of it!

Get Involved with us!

Volunteer on a Team
When we help others, we often discover more about ourselves. Volunteering is more than just supporting the church—it’s a chance to grow, learn, and step out of our comfort zones. It’s a way to meet new people and find deeper meaning in life. By volunteering, we open up opportunities for personal growth and unexpected experiences and for God to use us in meaningful ways.

Join a Discipleship Group
It starts in a Discipleship Group, where you will build real relationships and learn to follow Jesus in everyday life. Your group leader will guide you through bible studies, discussions and practices that help you grow in loving God, loving people and living on mission.

Join a Specialty Group
Helping people in difficulty to deepen their faith and experience God’s hope and healing through Jesus Christ.
Grief Share – Get support and healing from the hurt of losing a loved one.
Marriage – Build a foundation of faith and commitment as you connect and grow a healthy relationship.
Recovery – Break cycles of hurts, habits and hangups to experience healing and life transformation.
