JOIN US IN TAKING SANCTUARY TO CHURCHES ACROSS THE USA


THE SANCTUARY U.S. LAUNCH

Sanctuary Mental Heath Ministries is on a mission to equip 20% of U.S. churches with The Sanctuary Course by 2026. To date, over 250,000 people in over 70 countries have participated in the course. We want to take our mental health and faith resources to more people in more places. But to do so, we need your support.

Why does the U.S. need Sanctuary?

  • One in five Americans (fifty-seven million people) will experience a mental health challenge by the age of 40.
  • 49,449 Americans died by suicide in 2022
  • 25% of of those who seek mental health care report turning to clergy [1]
  • The Church must be equipped to support mental health and wellbeing in order to better serve the body of Christ

Do you have a passion for seeing the Church blossom? Do you believe in our vision:

a future where the Church plays a vital role in supporting mental health and wellbeing in every community? We’re looking for supporters who want to join us in taking Sanctuary across the United States. Learn more about how you can get involved below.
