    We have one foot in the "matrix" world and one foot in the new reality we are creating together.  By that I mean that we are organized as legally recognized 501c3 nonprofit religious corporation.  At the same time we are very much a spiritual, consensus based group of individuals who have a commitment to finding the deepest truth to every organizational situation and question that arises, all inside the space of unconditional love.

    There is a board of directors (anywhere from 3 to 9 individuals – currently 4, 2 men and 2 women – that makes all church related decisions.  Our intention is for full consensus of the board on all decisions.  However, in the event that we simply cannot come to a decision in a timely way, then we will make the decision based on full consensus less one person.  Board positions are not permanent and board members will periodically rotate off the board inside the truth.

    As you may have noticed, we use the word truth often.  It is a commitment we have in our lives as well as in the church.  Our board is called the Truth Council.  There are 3 requirements for being invited to sit on the Truth Council:

    • The individual must have a sufficient level of self responsibility – I am the creator of my life
    • The individual is sufficiently connected to and available for the truth that serves the church vision and purpose
    • All of the current Truth Council members agree that this individual meets the first two requirements

    Our church also has what we call "Mystic Stewards".  In traditional churches, they might be called priests or ministers.  What we mean in using this term is that these are people who have some direct personal experience of a greater reality or of God/Source and have moved in their lives from a place where the focus was on themselves and creating a life they love to a place where the focus is more on service to others.  However, we want to be clear that being a Mystic Steward is not about being selfless and sacrificing your own happiness for others.  There remains some balance between STS (service to self) and STO (service to others).  One cannot authentically serve others when the self is not nurtured and taken care of.  We find that there is an organic process within our church of those who receive the call to be a Mystic Steward and start to live and serve as one.

    We currently have three people who are ordained and serve as Mystic Stewards for the Church:  John Hill, Greg Ehmka, and Janie Michael Fichter.
