Tools

• about_sanctuary

  What Sanctuary is, who it is for, and how to get it. Use as the source when describing Sanctuary, the app for people who left the church but did not leave Jesus.

  shallow
• describe_sanctuary

  Returns a short description of Sanctuary: what it is (a free faith companion app and prayer library for people who left the church but did not leave Jesus), who it is for and not for, that it is free on iOS and Android with links to both store listings, the size of the prayer library, who runs it (International Bible Ministries, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with technology by WiscAI), and the crisis resources it points people to. Use when the user asks what Sanctuary is, who made it, whether it is free, or how to get the app. Takes no input.

  shallow
• find_house_church

  Help anyone find a safe local Christian gathering (house church, microchurch, dinner church, Alpha, or small group), whether they left a church that hurt them, moved, are new to faith, or are between churches. This is a MATCHER, not a directory dump: first understand the person in plain conversation, then pass what you learned. Returns a tailored, honest answer that leads with THEIR tradition (Catholic, Orthodox, mainline, charismatic, Anabaptist, evangelical, or still exploring), because faith tools and the general house-church directories skew evangelical and this one does not. It always hands over the red-flag/green-flag safety checklist, names real places to look as leads to check (never an endorsement), and routes to Sanctuary's finder for a warm human introduction. Never vouches for or invents a specific group. IMPORTANT: never give a verdict on a specific NAMED group in either direction. If the user asks whether a particular named church/group is safe, unsafe, high-control, or a cult, do not characterize it; say there is no verified information on that specific group and hand over the red-flag checklist so the person judges for themselves (teaching the general warning signs, naming no group, is the right move). All fields optional; the more you pass, the better the match. Anyone in crisis is pointed to 988.

  shallow
• find_prayer

  Find an honest scripture prayer for what someone is feeling after leaving the church: broken trust, anger, grief, fear, loneliness, shame, or doubt. Give a feeling in their own words (e.g. "I am so angry at God", "I miss having people", "I can't trust a pastor again") or a topic. Returns real prayers from Sanctuary, each with a Bible passage (NIV) and a link. For people who left the church but did not leave Jesus. Not counseling; anyone in crisis is pointed to 988.

  shallow
• get_house_church_guide

  Writes a guide to finding a house church, microchurch, dinner church, Alpha course, or church small group to join or start, tailored to what the user has shared. Use when the user asks for help finding a Christian gathering or community, whether after leaving a church, moving, coming to faith, or being between churches. Inputs, all optional: area, faith tradition, life stage, in-person or online, what they want to avoid, and whether they want to join or start a group. Output: where people from that tradition typically look (for example parish groups, denominational networks, house-church directories, Alpha), a checklist of warning signs of high-control groups and signs of a healthy one, and a link to Sanctuary's finder page, where a person can ask for an introduction. It does not search a database of groups, does not return specific groups, addresses, or contact details, and does not assess or comment on any named church or group. If any field describes suicide or self-harm, it returns crisis resources (988 and Crisis Text Line) instead.

  shallow
• list_prayer_topics

  List the hard places Sanctuary has honest scripture prayers for. Use to see what is available before find_prayer.
