Sanctuary is a place for the soul-searching, peace-seeking and home-longing to rest in the Presence of God.
We meet on the third Sunday of every month at 6.30pm, at St Edmund’s Church in Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham.
Whether you are seeking God, a young professional in the city, simply searching for a place of peace, or looking for spiritual anchoring in a busy world. This is for you.
We long for Sanctuary to be a community of honest belonging and radical transformation.
Are you on the edge of burnout, overwhelmed by the pace of the city, or in need of spiritual anchoring in a busy world? Are you searching for something more?
Come to Sanctuary and find rest in the presence of Jesus.
Our Summer Retreats

And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." - Mark 1:9-11
