Welcome Tzaddi is a metaphysical church that welcomes and supports people in experiencing the infinite, loving, co-creative presence of the Divine. We are focused on the spiritual rather than on the religious. We invite you to join in our spirit gatherings as part of a worldwide fellowship of light. We offer seminary ordination and certification programs. We organize, establish, and maintain metaphysical worship services, educational programs, home study groups, and meeting centers focused on spiritual fellowship and development. We train clergy to develop their psychic and spiritual gifts and appoint them to give assistance, guidance, prophecy, inspiration, teaching, counseling, and Divine healing, and to perform sacred ceremonies. Our fellowship arises through prayer, meditation, and inward focus, and is expressed outwardly through our engagement with one another and with the world from a place of heart-to-heart relational respect. People have different spiritual gifts and many different ways of speaking about and understanding God, Higher Consciousness, or the Divine. In Tzaddi we express our willingness to “love thy neighbor as thyself” by respecting diversity, while our fundamental, shared home in higher vibrational reality connects, uplifts, and expands us. We are grounded in the metaphysical knowledge and experience that all spiritual paths—so long as they do not seek to hurt or manipulate others—lead home. We offer spiritual fellowship to metaphysically-oriented individuals. We embrace and welcome different practices as long as they are in alignment with our beliefs—especially, that God is love and that we actively support only those realities or Truths that honor growth and free will rather than seek to do harm or manipulate others. And, although our umbrella is wide, our ethics guidelines set the standards for professional conduct by our clergy, and for respectful interactions in our community. We support you in liberating your inner potential of greater consciousness, that is waiting to be ignited. This inner potential can be expressed outwardly in any area of your life—in creativity, in work, in family relationships, in health, in friendships, in community, and so on. That which connects us in Tzaddi is an excitement and commitment to this process of “riding the line” between being and becoming: the process of growth, of unfolding potential in spiritual love, light, and flow. Tzaddi programs are created and administered through our seminary and the chartered light centers, under the supervision of the Bishop and the Board of Directors. We were founded in 1964 and are a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) corporation. In a group ruling in 1977 the federal government granted Tzaddi the authority to found and operate tax-exempt subordinate organizations.
