Our History
The Sanctuary Family Church International (formerly Durham Revival) is a family oriented church and a community where every member is valued regardless of his/her background, color, language and academic achievement. We base family fundamentals on Biblical principles and truths from the book of Genesis to Revelations.
According to the Bible, “family” is not a manmade concept. Rather, it originates from the mind of God. As recorded in the book of Genesis, family is a carefully crafted concept that is directly blessed by God. No sooner did God create man and woman then he also told them to create a family: “God blessed them,” states Genesis 1:28, continuing, “He said to them, ‘Have children and increase your numbers.'”
Even deep into the New Testament, the concept of family is valued as a product that has been especially designed by God. Paul verifies this fact in his letter to the Ephesians, commenting, “I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named (Ephesians 3:14-15).”
So family is an undeniably divine concept of God and we belong to him.
