WHO WE ARE

here is a bit about us

Ministry Center & Offices: 12 Bassett St. Providence, RI

Contact us via email: hello@sanctuaryri.org

Sanctuary Church began hosting homegroups and holding services in Providence, RI in the spring of 2012 after residing in East Greenwich as an evening service at Christ Church. Our decision to plant in the city was due to a clear call by God to serve our community which was predominantly made up of people who lived in, or were already serving in the Providence. A vision to be a church by and for the city began to emerge.

Our leaders lived and served here.

Our outreach work was here.

And our partner churches in the city welcomed us.

OUR CHURCH

Simply put Sanctuary Church is a family following the way of Jesus in Providence, RI.

We are a bible church, a discipleship church, and a Spirit church.

We seek to walk by faith, be known by love, and be a voice of hope for our region.

Like all Jesus followers we are called to demonstrate & announce the good news (gospel) that God is renewing all things in and through us.

That said, we mess this all up quite often. We believe in a God who loves us exactly where we are at, and far too much to let us stay there. We don’t claim to have all the answers. But we hope to ask the right questions.

A FEW THINGS WE BELIEVE ABOUT CHURCH

Whether you’re a follower of Jesus, someone who is searching, a regular church attendee, or someone who is fed up with religion, we welcome you.

We believe church should be an open, challenging, and safe place for you to serve, be still, ask questions, wrestle with the Bible, and be honest.

A church is a community of people who are learning what it means to follow Jesus.

A church should be a compelling force for good in the world, and we believe that the church is at its best when it serves, sacrifices, and loves, caring about the things God cares about.

A church should be a community marked by grace, knowing we have a God who loves us exactly where we are and loves us far too much to let us stay there.

A church should be a community that is centered on the Gospel (good news) of Jesus:

the good news that God the Creator, has come to rescue us from sin, and renew all things, in and through the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, to establish his kingdom through his people, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
