Words to
Live By

 

"Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world! For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me as a guest, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you cared for me, I was in prison and you came to me."

Matthew 25:34-36

Mission Statement

SANCTUARY OF PEACEE is an ecumenical Christian ministry of presence serving the people of the inner city of Edmonton. It was started in 1978 under the name "Inner City Pastoral Ministry" by members of the United Church who recognized a need for a church in the Inner City. SANCTUARY OF PEACE is now jointly sponsored by four denominations: United, Roman Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran.
