The area in front of the altar is typically referred to as the chancel or sanctuary in a church. This space is often elevated and serves as the focal point for worship, where the altar is located for rituals such as communion. It may also include seating for clergy and choir, and is usually distinguished by its design and decoration to signify its importance in religious ceremonies.

Is the front part of the church meeting room called the sanctuary?

No. The sanctuary is where the congregation gathers for worship service. The entry hall (front?) is called the "vestibule." The area where the congregation sits is called the "nave." The area where the sermon is delivered is called the "alter," or "pulpit," depending on the design of the church. Sometimes there is a pulpit structure on the alter, and sometimes the sermon is delivered from a lecturn. Of course there are many different churches and many different designs. But this is what we called the areas in the church I grew up in.
