Introduction to the Native American Church

The Native American Church (NAC) merges ancient Indigenous spirituality with selected Christian teachings, offering a unique path to its followers. Founded in 1918, it serves as a sanctuary of faith, healing, and cultural preservation for its community.

The Sacred Use of Entheogens

Entheogens, especially peyote, hold a sacred place in NAC practices, revered for their ability to unlock spiritual states and divine connections. These sacred plants have been an integral part of Indigenous rituals, bridging the physical and spiritual realms for participants.

Community and Fellowship

The NAC is deeply rooted in community, fostering a supportive environment where members can share experiences, wisdom, and spiritual growth. This sense of fellowship reinforces communal bonds, ensuring that members feel an integral part of the spiritual journey.

The Seven Core Values

The Church is built upon seven core values: respect, humility, gratitude, forgiveness, charity, faith, and honor, each serving as a guiding principle for personal conduct and communal harmony. These values not only shape individual behaviors but also reinforce the collective ethos of the NAC.

The Healing and Therapeutic Aspects

Healing is a cornerstone of the NAC, with its practices recognized for their therapeutic benefits that encompass both mental and physical well-being. Through rituals, guidance, and the use of sacred plants, the Church aids in alleviating spiritual and emotional afflictions.

Education and Preservation of Culture

The NAC is committed to the education and preservation of Indigenous cultures, ensuring that the rich heritage and traditions are kept alive for future generations. By weaving teachings into its practices, the Church plays a crucial role in cultural conservation and education.

Legal and Social Challenges

The NAC has historically faced legal and social obstacles, particularly in the advocacy for its right to use entheogens within its spiritual practices. Despite these challenges, the Church remains steadfast in its mission, seeking understanding and legal recognition.

How to Get Involved

Those seeking a deeper connection to their Indigenous roots or interested in the spiritual teachings of the NAC are welcome to engage and learn. The Church opens its doors to all individuals who resonate with its values and are looking for a spiritual home.

The Future of the Native American Church

The NAC envisions a future of greater acceptance and recognition, where its practices and values contribute to a more spiritually enriched and interconnected world. It continues to forge a path forward, guided by its ancestral wisdom and the collective strength of its community.
