The Sanctuary of Eagle River

About this church

The Sanctuary of Eagle River is a church at 14121 Old Glenn Highway in Eagle River, Alaska, meeting on Sundays at 11 a.m. and Thursdays at 7 p.m. The congregation began as a living-room Bible study in 1986 and states its aim as developing disciples of Jesus and following the pattern of the first-century church, with a focus on Scripture and the work of the Holy Spirit. Worship is energetic, with clapping, singing along to projected lyrics, and some dancing, and preaching is described as lively and Bible-centered, mostly using the King James Version. Prayer for healing is common, and people may speak in tongues during services. Some people dress up and others do not.

The main meeting room is upstairs and seats about 100. A nursery is available upstairs, a Kids Class meets on Sundays after the worship songs, and teens meet as a group midweek. Community small groups form around shared interests and are open to anyone. Newcomers may be invited to coffee after a first visit. The site also lists service to nearby JBER military families, internships, and mission-trip opportunities. Call 907-696-1111 and confirm times on the website.
