Our Story



The name of the parish means heavenly sanctuary
Celestial Sanctum Parish

Celestial Sanctum Parish operates under the banner of Celestial Church of Christ (see Constitution). The name of the parish, which means "heavenly sanctuary", was prophesied to the shepherd (see About the Shepherd) in April 1992 even though the church would not come into physical existence until 1999. The church began in 1999 in a small room in a home in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. It is now firmly established in Bloomington, CA.

Our church is deeply rooted in the Bible, both the old and new testament. We profess Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior and the redeemer of mankind (see Our Beliefs). The church is a charismatic one where the power of the Holy Spirit is in full effect. Shepherd of the church The church is distinct and is in many ways unlike any other type of traditional church;the reason being that the practice of our faith (see Mode of Worship) was divinely revealed by the Holy Spirit. The church emphasizes to its members the importance of growing in the spirit, "working out one's own salvation,...laying hold on eternal life". This cannot be done through casual worship. Every member of the church is thus encouraged to take an active role in the church and be engaged in a ministry. This promotes growth in the Lord Jesus.

One potent aspect of the church is its deep entrenchment in prayer, knowing that whatsoever you ask in faith you will receive. We are all "prayer warriors", using the name of Jesus to break the bonds of Satan. We hold firmly to the mandate of Jesus Christ to "pray without ceasing." We hold weekday prayer services, vigils, and intercessory prayer gatherings as scheduled. A place where you will testify to the power of God. A church where miracles are alive and well. Where God prescribes the remedy for any issue. We invite you to worship with us, to move closer to God, to be filled with His spirit, and to receive his anointing.
