I started going to the Sanctuary Boston back in 2015. My 8 year old has grown up in this community and it's been wonderful. The Sanctuary song we sing each week was her "calm down" song when she was little and needed help calming down. The music is so fun and engaging and the people are genuinely welcoming. If you are looking for a supportive space that is friendly to LGBTQ+ folks, younger adults, people with kids and you want to sing and hear some heartfelt reflections then try it out!
I've been going to Sanctuary's services for about 9 months now. This is a really special community for anyone who is interested in exploring spirituality, especially if they have had a complicated relationship with religion in the past. It is an open, intergenerational community that is an especially good space for queer folks and young families. The music is fantastic, and it's a very active community with in person and virtual services, retreats, and small groups, all of which I recommend.
At Sanctuary Boston I have met incredible community of people who are connected to each other and their spiritual purpose. Wednesday worship services offers beautiful live music, and there are many other opportunities through small groups, retreats, and volunteering to get to know and make real connections.
Sanctuary Boston is such a wonderful community for anyone who is interested! I joined having just moved to Boston, and found so many people in this community that took me in and made Sanctuary a second home. The services are incredible (including a wide variety of topics, speakers, and a live band every single week!) and other events that they sponsor (like retreats and community singing nights) are fantastic. I absolutely love it at Sanctuary Boston and encourage anyone and everyone I meet to come to a service because they are so amazing!
I've been coming to Sanctuary Boston for over 10 years! (How did that happen?) Sanctuary Boston has worship services that feel particularly special to me because of the live music and warmth and the friends that I've made! When I first came to Sanctuary Boston I hadn't heard of Unitarian Universalism, but it has really connected with what I was looking for in a church. I wanted spiritual encouragement, support, connection - but I don't have a strong connection with a specific belief system. I've enjoyed prayers, rituals, songs, gatherings, and it's been wonderful to have that comfort from afar via virtual gatherings <3
When going to Boston I really wanted to find a community that also had young adults. Finding sanctuary was a great fit where they shared my UU values and also had the youthful community I was looking for throughout college.
Sanctuary Boston offers life-giving services with fantastic music, energy, and spirit. Their theology accepts each person as whole and worthy of love exactly as we are, while urging us to build a world together with more justice and more love. They may not be a traditional congregation, but they do so much! Small groups, community care, spiritual care, campus ministry, regular retreats, singing-- dang!
Such a friendly crowd, and killer music. Different person gives the message each time, so it never gets old. One of the few places I can be with a crowd and relax the vigilance that comes with being visibly trans. Plenty of families with kids and students, but a pretty broad mix of other ages & stages of life too. Draws lots of religious professionals looking for someplace they can just show up and be fed by worship.
If in person, come early to grab some soup and meet some folks - if on Zoom stick around afterward for just about the only Zoom coffee hour I can imagine standing!
