About Fellowly Church

Fellowly Church helps people get closer to God through congregational religious worship, sacramental offerings, prayer, education, social activities and charitable activities.Fellowly Church is a 508(c)(1)(a), making your donations tax deductible.Fellowly brings believers together for healing and connection to God through communion and prayer with sacramental entheogens. We believe entheogens connect us with God. Fellowly doesn't sell entheogens and has strict rules concerning the handling and consumption of entheogenic sacraments.It is Fellowly Church's belief that the consumption of entheogens is a communion that brings us closer to what is commonly referred to as God. We understand this concept as pure consciousness, which permeates all being. We believe this pure consciousness is the source of all creation. Our faith in entheogens stems from our ancestors' use of them and our personal experiences. It is our belief that entheogens are the greatest sacraments that nature offers, raising our awareness so that we can access a direct connection to God.CORE VALUES

Legal

Fellowly Church is a lawfully incorporated and operating 508(c)(1)(a). The Church affirms the legal rights of it and its adult members, under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, 42 USC § 2000bb, et seq. (“RFRA”), and other applicable state laws to responsibly use sacraments in bona fide religious ceremony pursuant to sincerely held religious beliefs. This includes entheogen sacraments that are scheduled under federal and state laws.For purposes of the Church, there are numerous entheogenic sacraments (e.g., cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, peyote, among others) which have been used in religious ceremonies around the world for hundreds, if not thousands, of years (“Sacraments”). The Church and its members affirm their right to responsibly use the Sacraments in ways that are exempted from the federal Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 801, et seq. (“CSA”), and applicable state Controlled Substances Acts.The right to use entheogens, in furtherance of the sincere exercise of religion, is inherent in state and federal constitutions and amendments relating thereto, including the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It has been further recognized and advanced by statute, including federal and state religious freedom protection acts. The right has been declared valid by courts across this nation, including the United States Supreme Court, which have recognized the right of churches and church representatives to responsibly use entheogenic sacraments in furtherance of sincerely held religious beliefs. See, e.g., Gonzales v. O Centro Espirita Beneficente Uniao do Vegetal, 546 U.S. 418, 126 S. Ct. 1211, 163 L. Ed. 2d 1017 (2006) (“UDV Decision” recognizing the religious right of the church and its members to use formulations of DMT-containing ayahuasca); Church of the Holy Light of the Queens v. Mukasey, 615 F.Supp.2d 1210 (D. Or. 2009) (“Santo Daime Decision” recognizing the religious right of the church and its members to use formulations of DMT-containing ayahuasca); State v. Mack, 2020 N.H. Lexis 206 (New Hamp. Dec. 22, 2020) (New Hampshire Supreme Court vacating order denying motion to dismiss prosecution for possession and sacramental use of psilocyn and/or psilocybin in furtherance of sincerely held religious beliefs).The Church, respectfully, asserts its rights to seek attorney’s fees and other damages to the extent any private or government actor impinges on the rights of the Church or adult Church members to safely and responsibly practice their religion. See generally, 43 U.S.C. § 1988(b).A key mission of Fellowly is to build, grow and sustain a non-denominational, faith-based religious community premised on and constructed around the safe and responsible religious use of the Sacraments in sacred ceremonies to facilitate (a) the personal growth and religious healing of church members, (b) the building of a transformative church community, and (c) the ushering forth of community and global healing through the work of the Church and its members. The Church respects the historical and time-honored religious traditions that exist concerning the Sacraments. The Sacraments have been used in spiritual and religious ceremonies for centuries in North America and in other parts of the world. Many formal churches exist in the United States that are safely and effectively using the Sacraments as part of their religions, including churches that have operated in the United States for decades.To be clear, the Church honors and respects all entheogens. Embedded in Church doctrine is the recognition that God has provided humans with many types of plants, fungi and other natural substances that can support spiritual growth and religious transformations. The Church recognizes that many other established churches, as well as individuals, have found religious healing through customs, practices and ceremonies that involve the intentional, religious use of entheogens. This includes but is not limited to the Native American Church and its many affiliates, which assert the right to use all entheogens as sacraments; the UDV church referenced in the UDV Decision, Santo Daime Church referenced in the Santo Daime Decision, and the Soul Quest church in Florida, all of which have long asserted the right to use ayahuasca as a sacrament; and other single and multi-sacrament churches that presently exist, or are in the process of forming. Reverence for Nature, as the manifestation of our Creator, is foundational to Fellowly’s practices and beliefs. While entheogens are our Sacraments, we believe that all of nature is an expression of God’s love and is to be respected and honored.The Church embraces a non-denominational approach that honors and draws from the customs and beliefs of other religions that respect and value life, including Christianity. The Church believes that all religions contain elements of the Universal Truth: that God, or Universal Consciousness, is Love and that Love is the foundation of manifested creation and individual and communal healing. Within this framework, the Church believes that the Sacraments are nature’s greatest and primary gift to facilitate transformative connections with the spiritual world and deeper connections with self. The Church believes that Sacraments can assist those who consume it intentionally, in ceremonies conducted pursuant to Church doctrine and procedures, in accessing personal Divinity, Healing, Spiritual Enlightenment and connection with God.The Church has dedicated itself to ensuring that religious practices conducted pursuant to the sincerely held beliefs of the Church and its members do not disturb, or disrupt the peace, of others in the local communities where Fellowly has a presence. Church doctrines preclude anyone from engaging with Sacraments unless (a) they are motivated by sincere religious beliefs, and (b) they are engaging with Sacraments as part of a Church-sanctioned religious ritual or ceremony. The Church has strict rules concerning the preparing of, handling, and consumption of the Sacraments, which among other things must be done with reverence of the Sacraments, which must be distributed only by ordained officials of the Church and only in official healing services of the Church. Only ordained officials, who have received appropriate approvals by the Church, are permitted to serve the Sacraments in accordance with the Church’s rules.No official will be ordained unless they have demonstrated an understanding of Church policies and procedures, including strict procedures that ensure there is no diversion of Sacraments to others. Fellowly has developed practices for storing, quantifying and utilizing sacraments and protecting them from misappropriation, and the Church commits to revisiting and enhancing its practices, as needed and as appropriate, subject to the Church reserving and affirming its right to use the Sacraments without government interference consistent with the U.S. Constitution, the RFRA and applicable federal and state law, including the UDV Decision and the Santo Daime Decision.To the extent practicable, and with full reservation of its right to exercise its religion, the Church seeks to build bridges with other members of the local and national community that foster community, health, healing and transparency. The Church believes that we—not just members of the Church, but all people throughout the world—are all members of a single human race, that in a very real way we are all part of a broader spiritual family without racial distinction, and that every human deserves the same respect and rights regardless of ethnicity, sexual preference, socioeconomic status or any other categorical distinction that has been used historically or in today’s world to foster separateness or, at times, oppression. All people from any walk of life that respects the Sacraments and Church doctrine are welcomed into our peace-loving community. The Church welcomes as members those who are called to the Sacraments in the name of religious and spiritual growth and healing, and who also respect and embrace the tenets of the Church.Fellowly recognizes that, presently, there is a shift occurring across the nation with regard to entheogens. As time goes on, more people and communities in the United States are recognizing that responsible adults have been able to develop healing relationships with entheogens, such as psilocybin mushrooms and cannabis, within and outside of religious and therapy settings. Moreover, each year additional institutions are performing medical and other scientific research exploring the possible physical and mental health benefits associated with the safe, intentional and responsible use of entheogens.With that said, the Church, as an organization, is primarily focused on ensuring that anyone associated with the Church, including its members and leaders, are respecting the Sacraments consistent with Church doctrine. In other words, while the Church is supportive of the right of individuals and groups, in general, to use entheogens in safe and responsible manners within religious and medical/mental health contexts or outside of them, the Church’s doctrines, practices, and religion are focused on the use of the Sacraments within the Church’s structure, consistent with the sincerely held religious beliefs held by the Church and its members, in furtherance of their bona fide exercise of religion.*Fellowly encourages any member contemplating sitting with Sacraments to have relationships with medical and mental health providers, as they offer professional services that are distinct from the religious support offered through Fellowly and the Fellowly religious community. Fellowly is not a medical provider and does not provide medical or mental health advice. Although Fellowly may reference medical and mental health research and literature, as well as publications that may contain various people’s anecdotal experiences with entheogens, and while it is possible that Fellowly members may speak publicly about their experiences with Sacraments, Fellowly can't (and doesn't) make any representations about the medical or mental health benefits of any entheogen.
