Casual dress is allowed.
You are allowed to wear ritual garb any time you wish, as long as it is tasteful.

Some classes may come with a small additional materials fee, but that will be noted on the calendar.
You may sign up in person during Sunday service. If you cannot do so in person, you can message the church Facebook page, or send a message using the contact tab on the web site with your full name, phone number, and the name of the class you are planning to attend.

Yes. Our clergy are fully licensed by the state and are able to perform a plethora of services, whether it be on site or at another location. Feel free to contact us directly via the Contact page or our Facebook.
Many of our parishioners still lead private lives and would like to keep it that way. Therefore, no photography is permitted on church grounds without expressed consent of the CEL Executive Board, and those who wish to be photographed.
You may take photos of the outer building and grounds, as long as there are no people in the shot.
We do not currently have the in-house technology to stream our services. We also do not believe in streaming them as most of our Sundays are a very hands-on format, plus it also violates the privacy of our members (see our FAQ on photography.)
We do not allow any sort of paranormal investigation (aka "ghost hunting") to be done on our property.
There are numerous recognized Pagan groups throughout the country. Some may even call themselves churches.
We however, are the only federally recognized church with a 501(c) status that is officially chartered as "Pagan Spiritualist." This has to do with the practices put into place by those who came before us in order to build us into a truly unique entity.
