Sanctuary of Unconditional Love Community Church is a living community rooted in the connection of Self, Spirit, and Source.
We believe community is sacred ground, a place where we come together to remember who we are, to honor the Divine in one another, and to walk alongside one another in love, growth, healing, service, and connection.
Membership is an invitation to help tend the Sanctuary.
It is an opportunity to move from simply participating in the community to consciously helping nurture, sustain, and shape the community we share.
Membership is not required to belong here. You are welcome in our community whether or not you choose to become a member.
Membership is a choice to deepen your relationship with yourself and your spiritual being, and to offer something of yourself in reciprocity for the community that holds and supports us.
Why Membership Matters
A living community is created by the people who choose to care for it.
Members help provide the foundation and container through which the Sanctuary can continue its mission, care for its space, support its community, create opportunities for spiritual connection and learning, and extend its service into the world.
Membership is one way of saying:
~ This community matters to me
~ I want to help shepherd it
~ I want to contribute to what we are creating together
We each bring different gifts, capacities, experiences, and callings. Membership gives us a way to weave those offerings into the larger fabric of our community.
Through membership, we participate in the ongoing life of the Sanctuary through our presence, our voices, our service, our care, and our financial support.
A Relationship of Reciprocity
Our Core Values remind us that we are profoundly connected to one another, to the land, and to all beings, and that as we tend the living field, it tends to us. Membership is an expression of this reciprocity.
It is a way to offer something back and a way to help create a strong and intentional foundation for the Sanctuary, so as to continue the unfolding of its mission.
Membership is a way to claim your place within the community; not through ownership of one another, but through shared stewardship of something that we are creating together.
What Membership Makes Possible
Membership opens opportunities for deeper participation in the life of the Sanctuary, including:
- Priority registration opportunities for some retreats
- Access to member-only ceremonies and gatherings
- Free access to public virtual ceremonies
- Educational and training opportunities
- Mentorship and continued integration support
- Connection with aligned service providers and facilitators
- Opportunities to serve in leadership and other forms of community service
- A voice in the continued life and development of the community
- Participation in rites of passage and initiations
- Deeper opportunities to weave and strengthen the connections within our community
Membership does not guarantee a place in retreats or other limited-capacity offerings. Rather, membership provides opportunities for deeper participation and connection within the community and to serve as a living expression of the Sanctuary.
You Are Seen and Valued.
Membership is not about becoming worthy of belonging as everyone is already a member of the group field.
You are already worthy of belonging.
We honor each person as a unique expression of the Divine, carrying their own story, gifts, experiences, questions, and relationship with Spirit.
Our Sanctuary welcomes people across races, genders, orientations, faiths, abilities, socioeconomic backgrounds, traditions, and personal stories. We celebrate diversity as the Divine expressing itself in infinite forms.
When you become a member, you are not simply adding your name to a list.
You are adding your presence to a living community.
Your voice matters here.
~ Your gifts matter here.
~ Your care matters here.
~ Your willingness to show up, participate, serve, learn, celebrate, and grow matters here.
