We are the SANCTUARY@SACC —

A Gathering Place for Worship. Our 7 congregations worship together in their language and culture; attracting others who share their ethnicity and worship expressions. We seek to come alongside our congregations for greater discipleship. Together, we are learning from each other as we grow in the knowledge and grace of Lord Jesus Christ.

A Ministry to Refugees & Immigrants: South Philly is home to over 77 ethnicities. We come alongside our newest residents with support, knowledge and new partnerships. NEW: RAC@SACC IS BACK STARTING MARCH 6TH.

A Hub for Service: Followers of Jesus are zealous for good works. We offer ministry opportunities for individuals and families. Church groups are welcome, too! Make new friends, and discover what our Lord taught us: “It is truly more blessed to give than receive!” Explore the different ways you can serve with us.

Sanctuary@SACC is currently home to 7 congregations of Burmese (Karen and Chin), Central American & Caribean (Spanish), Congolese (African), Laotian, Nepali, and other ethnicities.  

We believe that the Gospel blesses us to be a blessing: Through the Gospel we are deeply loved by God, reconciled to Him, and given more than we could ever deserve! Now, as grateful servants, we seek to bless others by gladly reciprocating his love and compassion to our neighbor.

Our Mission: We serve refugees and immigrants in Philadelphia by partnering with a community of multi-ethnic churches becoming a sanctuary for faith and support.
