Who We Serve

A variety of concerns bring people to the resources of The Sanctuary Foundation.

Marge calls herself spiritual, but not religious, yet she is looking for community, structure and accountability for her practice of faith.

Jim, a busy pastor in a large church, needs a place to be honest with God and himself as he discerns questions of spiritual leadership and renewal.

Opal, a devout Catholic, is worn out with caring for her spouse in declining health and needs a safe place to reflect on her life in God and find strength and renewal. She feels alone and cut off from supportive friends and relatives.

Susan comes bearing wounds from the violence perpetrated by a religious institution and its pastor. She is fearful and suspicious of “traditional” religious institutions and resources.

Russell, a long time active church member, is finding attending church a chore. He has lost his desire to pray or read scripture and feels he is losing his faith.

Matt is in seminary and needs ongoing vocational discernment and spiritual accountability in preparation for ministry.

Alice is on disability for mental illness. Regular sessions of spiritual guidance are an important piece of her recovery and support network.
