Sanctuary

Most AI assistants are built to be "spiritually neutral" — which means they treat the Bible as one opinion among many and quietly leave God out of everyday decisions. Sanctuary was built to change that: a general-purpose AI assistant that answers from a Christian worldview every time, whether you're studying Romans, planning dinner, helping your kid with homework, or working through a hard parenting question.^1

Founded by August Milazzo in Irvine, California, Sanctuary launched publicly in April 2026, positioning itself as "the world's first faith-centered AI for everyday use."^2 The app affirms core Christian doctrines — the Trinity, Christ's divinity, salvation by grace, and the sanctity of life — and roots every response in Scripture (ESV).^2 Users can select from 10 denomination perspectives (Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Anglican, Non-Denominational, Orthodox, and Reformed), and the AI shapes its answers to respect each tradition's theology.^1

Beyond spiritual counsel, Sanctuary handles everyday tasks — recipes, career advice, writing, schoolwork — but with a Christian foundation woven into every answer. It includes dedicated tools for guided prayer with voice audio, daily devotionals, Bible study with historical context, faith-inspired image generation, and a Deep Research mode that synthesizes multiple web sources.^4

Every paid plan includes Sanctuary Kids, a dedicated mode for ages 8–16 with PIN-protected parental controls, full chat transcript access for parents, screen time limits, and weekly activity reports. Kids can chat with 10 Bible Hero characters, embark on choose-your-own-adventure stories through biblical settings, play faith-based games, create art, and get homework help — all filtered through a biblical worldview.^5

Sanctuary offers 26 purpose-built AI tools for pastors, teachers, and church leaders — including full sermon manuscripts, one-click sermon packs, children's lesson plans, Bible study guides, devotionals, pastoral care letters, and church newsletters — powered by a Ministry Profile system that personalizes output to each church's denomination and context. Documents are saved to a searchable, editable library and can be exported as professional PDFs.^6

A referral program rewards users for sharing Sanctuary with their congregation and community, paying recurring monthly commissions to their PayPal based on the number of active subscribers they bring in.^7

"It's really wonderful and a powerful app. I learn a lot from it — what a wonderful helping tool for Pastors and also Sunday School. God bless you more and more." — Babar Sohail, Sanctuary User^8

"I love how it breaks down every verse. I am confident even in reading the Bible because of the activities and questions asked. I am still learning on how to get closer to God and I believe Sanctuary is guiding me." — Sanctuary User^8
