Sanctuary Community Church

About this church

Sanctuary Community Church in Coralville, Iowa, describes itself as a Jesus-centered church serving Iowa City and Coralville. In-person services take place every Sunday at 10 a.m. and last about an hour. Bagels, coffee, gluten-free snacks, and other refreshments are set out starting around 9:30 a.m. at no charge. The service is also streamed on the church's Facebook page. The church says it does not require members to hold a set list of doctrinal beliefs and welcomes both belief and doubt. Restrooms include men's, women's, and all-gender options.

Children's programming offers six classrooms from babies through high school, built around the values of empathy, inclusion, and wonder. The church reports that background checks, a two-adult-per-classroom policy, and regular volunteer training are part of its safety approach, and that a notable share of regular attenders are teens or younger. Separate pages describe offerings for teens and young adults. Small groups change by season and include a college and young adult group, a craft night, and a group for parents of young children. Service efforts are gathered under the name Hands On Faith and include food assistance for students at a local elementary school, household items for people in transitional housing, and volunteering with local nonprofits.
