Sanctuary is a place for the soul-searching, peace-seeking and home-longing to rest in the Presence of God.
Our Upcoming Services
Sunday 12th April + Sunday 10th May
We meet on the Second Sunday of the 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.
