TCS Creator - Cindy Fischer

My passion for children and the Gospel is rooted in my childhood faith. As a fifth-grader navigating my parents' divorce, I encountered Jesus’ love through my mother’s newfound faith. This transformed me, and I became a follower of Christ, relying on Him and His Word during our turbulent times.

Raised in a small Bible church, I learned to memorize Scripture, pray, and study the Bible, often praying in the woods with my dog. Those early experiences of leaning on God amid adversity shaped my calling and deep belief that children can have a profound faith, especially in life’s darkest moments.

In a world where children are often neglected, the Gospel of Jesus Christ offers them hope and sustenance. I founded The Children’s Sanctuary (TCS) to create spaces where children encounter God’s covenant stories and respond emotionally, engaging both their hearts and minds. Through worship and reflection, TCS helps children experience God’s love in transformative ways, where worship itself becomes a form of teaching.

With degrees from Wheaton College, St. Louis University, and Covenant Theological Seminary, I bring expertise as a Montessori educator and a Children’s Ministries Director to this mission of nurturing children’s faith.
