Welcome to our
Neighboring Ministry!
What does it mean to be a neighbor? What does it mean to love someone as yourself? Can you love someone that you don’t know? At the Sanctuary, neighboring is about fostering connection points between our congregation and our Northside neighbors in order to build authentic and equal relationships.
Matthew 22:37–39: Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ How can you love your neighbor if you never engage in the neighborhood?
There are three main ways Sanctuary engages in the neighborhood: the Haven Pantry, Northside school partnerships, and community-wide events.
