Who We Are
Sanctuary is a diverse group of people from different neighborhoods and backgrounds who all share the belief that the beauty of grace is more transformative than any ethical program, ideology, or philosophy. Though many of us feel cynical of religion, we are a community that is holding out for grace, confident that God is already working to bring about systemic justice, reconciliation, and wholeness.
Welcome
Worship is held every Sunday at 10:30AM via video conferencing. Links will be emailed to the congregation Sunday morning.
Please contact us at sanctuaryseattle@gmail.com to be added to the list.
