The organizational structure of TCC allows for TCC to support other like-minded organizations. These decisions are made by the Executive Committee. Currently TCC is a small organization and has limited resources to financially support other organizations. We encourage our members to support other like-minded non-profit, not-for-profit and ecclesiastical organizations that seek to reconcile the world in a rational basis, that support the separation of church and state, and that support and encourage free-thought and humanist ideals. 

Memorials, weddings and other celebrations are an integral and valued part of TCC. Talk to the Curate at your local Conscious Church to explore options. 

Supporting individuals within our communities is the essence of what The Conscious Church is all about. While we currently do not offer housing assistance, The Mission Auxiliary, through Conscious Resale, is working toward offering job training and transitional employment opportunities. As our membership grows, we will be able to offer additional services to individuals that we are not currently able to offer.  

The Curate at your local Conscious affiliate is available for some types of consultation. Please contact your Curate directly to discuss your particular needs. Referrals can also be made to outside service providers when necessary. 

Children are welcome at almost all meetings and events and child care is offered as staff are available. Refer to the meeting details. If child care is not indicated please contact the meeting organizer directly to express your needs.

Although we do not believe in a supernatural, personal God, we believe that we are all part of what is (the creation) and therefore it is incumbent on each of us to act in the best interest of all of humanity. We come together in TCC to help each other to grow and to become the best that we can be. The faith component of traditional churches is only one aspect that makes the traditional church community valuable to its members. We are formed to offer fulfillment to the remaining needs that historical churches have for centuries provided to their communities.
