Belonging before obligation. Connection before commitment.
Northern Pagan Church exists to foster community, shared practice, and mutual care among modern pagans. Membership is an invitation into relationship — with one another, with the sacred, and with the values we hold in common.
Becoming a member does not require perfect belief, a specific tradition, or prior experience. It does ask for curiosity, respect, and a willingness to engage in good faith with our community.
What Membership Means
Membership affirms that you:
- Recognize the Sacred Tree as the guiding framework of our community
- Commit to practicing honor, hospitality, and sovereignty in community spaces
- Agree to our Membership, Conduct, and Safety Agreement
- Understand that Northern Pagan Church centers practice and relationship over dogma
Members are encouraged — but not required — to deepen their understanding of our teachings through gatherings, discussions, and future classes.
A Shared Foundation: The Roots of the Sacred Tree
Members should have a basic grasp of the Roots of the Sacred Tree, which ground our community in shared values rather than enforced belief.
At minimum, members are asked to understand and agree that:
- Values come before titles or authority
- Community safety and consent are sacred responsibilities
- Diversity of gods, spirits, and practices is honored
- Growth happens through lived experience, not rigid doctrine
Who Can Become a Member?
Membership is open to:
- Individuals and households seeking community
- Those new to paganism as well as long-practicing pagans
- People exploring connection without pressure to lead or teach
You do not need:
- To swear an oath
- To donate money
- To attend every event
Membership is free and voluntary.
What Membership Is Not
Membership does not grant:
- Authority over others
- Automatic leadership roles
- The ability to speak for Northern Pagan Church
Leadership, teaching, and oath-bound roles follow separate paths and discernment processes.
Staying Connected as a Member
Members may receive:
- Occasional member-specific communications
- Early or direct information about gatherings and classes
- Invitations to participate more deeply as the church grows
As Northern Pagan Church expands, additional opportunities and pathways may become available to members who wish to engage further.
