Sanctuary United Church of Christ
About
Sanctuary United Church of Christ is a progressive Medford congregation that calls itself a spiritual home for seekers and skeptics. Rather than a traditional service, worship takes the form of circles where members explore scripture, poetry, art and film, ask real questions and look for hope together. The church welcomes people of every age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation and background, whether they are lifelong churchgoers or unsure of what they believe.
Sanctuary belongs to the United Church of Christ, which it describes as the most progressive Christian denomination in the U.S. and the largest in New England. Its gatherings take place online, at the historic Shiloh Baptist Church building in Medford and at Arts Collaborative Medford. Programs have included Art & Soul, Faith & Film, a micro food pantry, the Our Whole Lives curriculum and the AM2PM summer camp, alongside justice and service work.
