What's the Relationship Between the Full Circle Family Church and Community?

Grapevines for planting
The Full Circle Family Church and Full Circle Family Community are one and the same. All members of the church and community live together, sharing all resources: food, shelter, transportation etc. Full Circle Family is dedicated to demonstrating the practicality of 'sharing'; showing others a way of living lighter on the Earth, in harmony with Natural Law in a style of simple abundance. We seek to live, guided by spiritual principles to perform acts of service for each other and the greater community. No one has a separate job, pays rent or contributes money for food, or clothes or any of one's necessities.

As 'provisional members' become 'full members', they are ordained as Ministers of the Church. The time of provisional membership gives members the philosophical understanding and the experience of putting these beliefs into practice so that we express a  unified set of core beliefs and practices

As a side benefit, being a legal church allows us to receive tax-deductible donations. We share the use of the land and other property owned by the church. The land is tax-free. Individual stipends never exceed taxable amounts, therefore no-one pays income tax. All full members/ministers have access to all of the community/church property and assets when used in accordance with the purposes for which we were formed.

Members of Full Circle Family need to feel comfortable living in a spiritual community, committed to daily putting our foundational spiritual beliefs into practice.
