Receiving Sacrament & Offerings

Anyone can join us!
Everyone is welcome in the Community. You do not need to revel with natural medicine to belong here. Some come for reflection, others for connection, and many for the sense of being supported without judgment. We host gatherings that include families, individuals, and those simply exploring what it means to feel safe in a shared space. What matters most is that you arrive with honesty.
​
As a part of joining our congregation, you will receive a New Member Orientation (NMO), as well as a safety lecture on any natural medicines you have an interest in learning about.
​
Natural medicines are part of our spiritual life. They are never for sale and never treated as products. If someone asks to purchase or trade medicine, we begin with a conversation. If that request is repeated, we ask the person to leave. This protects the sacred nature of our practice and the safety of the Community. We are not a dispensary.
​​
The Community is supported by contributions and donations. These help provide food, safety resources, and everything else that makes our gatherings possible.

Sacrament & Offerings
​​
We don’t get messed up or trip. We revel.
​​​​
​​
To revel is to be present in your existence. It is a sacred act. Many of us forget how to do it because we are weighed down by anxiety and depression, disconnected from the spark inside us. Sacrament, used with care, helps us remember.
​
Participation in any sacrament requires that you be 21 or older, with an ID checked in person. This is not optional. It is part of our structure and part of the law.
​
Within The Community, sacraments are part of our spiritual practice. They are not sold and they are not transactional. They are shared in a commitment to wellness, reverence, and connection. Just as a traditional church that serves sacramental wine is not operating as a bar, our church is not a dispensary. We are a spiritual space that centers intention and collective care.
​​
All sacraments require education to receive. The educational lectures for the natural medicines available to the Community include: legal understanding under 23-290, physical health risks, psychological health risks, and an introduction to the Intention/Integration process. There may be additional educational lectures required, such as safe​ practices for providing sacraments to others or other relevant situations.
​
You can receive sacraments as part of Tuesday's sermon at our Primary Gathering free after any required education.
​
Additional sacraments may be available. Speak with a member of the clergy for access.
Member of the Congregation
You must be a member of our congregation to receive any sacrament. This begins with a New Member Orientation, in which you'll learn about our Community's theology, communal accountability, and structure, as well as receive the legal understandings of how our church exists both as a nonprofit and in compliance with SB 23-290.
​
Anyone can become a member of our congregation. Sacrament is only available to those with legally permitted access. We do not give sacrament to anyone not legally able to receive it.
Patron Membership
Starting 1/2026, a Patron Membership (Replacing "Active Membership") is gained by setting up a recurring donation. Patron status members keep The Community accessible and sustainable for all more reliably. This allows for some predictability to the donations received as we grow and provide our clergy with stipends.
Patron Membership gives you access to these additional benefits:
- Sacrament at the time of donation received
- Free PACK Life shirt upon first recurring donation
- Early access & special pricing to special event tickets
- Early access to unique sacraments
- PACK Life shirts of all styles are $5 off
- More benefits present on location
​​​​
A minimum recurring donation of $100 grants you the benefits of Patron membership. Each month, when the donation process is completed, you will receive a gift from the Community next time you're at the church.
​
Your donations can be met with a charitable donation receipt. A member of the clergy can help you set this up at the church.
​
The sacrament is part of the relationship. It is a gift that lives within the care we give one another. Your contribution helps keep The Community safe, strong, and rooted in purpose.
​
Additional sacraments may be available.
