The Church of the Crowned Seasons affirms faith in the Divine, whose presence is known in creation, in sacred traditions, and in the lives of all people. The Divine is honored by many names—God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Creator, Light, Wisdom, goddess, deity, and countless others. We believe the Divine cannot be contained in any single name, form, or tradition, but is revealed through many paths of wisdom, mercy, and truth. Each person’s way of worship is their own, and all sincere devotion is welcomed as part of the greater fellowship.

Guiding Principles

• Divine Reality — There is one Divine Reality, honored in many ways, who is the source of life and existence.
• Sacred Teachings — Wisdom may be revealed through sacred writings, traditions, or the lived experience of faith communities. This may include the Bible and other texts, as well as writings and teachings from many paths that inspire justice, mercy, truth, and understanding.
• Worship and Rites — We gather to worship, pray, and celebrate rites that give meaning to life’s passages—birth, maturity, union, loss, and renewal—while respecting that each person approaches the Divine in their own way.
• Community — The Church is a fellowship of people committed to mutual care, encouragement, and growth in faith.
• Service — Faith is expressed through acts of compassion, justice, and reconciliation in the wider community.
• Spiritual Growth — The Divine calls every person to a journey of continual learning, transformation, and service, guided by conscience and devotion.
