OUR MISSION
Fifth Element Free Church seeks to unite spiritual beings from all walks of life, much the way aether does. We glean wisdom from ancient teachings regarding the original four elements: FIRE - the spirit, passion and zest for life that is the birthright of every soul incarnated on Earth; EARTH - access to the abundance that is all around us, in forms both tangible and intangible; AIR - the knowledge, information and education necessary to support an enlightened society; and WATER - emotional and intuitive prowess. AETHER, the fifth element, connects us all, and allows each of the other four elements to thrive in peace and harmony with their surroundings. Aether envelops; it protects and provides structure and pathways for the advancement of light. Fifth Element Free Church's mission is to do the same.
Becoming An Associated Church
As ministers who have each founded their own ministries, we understand the challenges and perils of operating a stand-alone ministry or church. One reason we've created Fifth Element Free Church is to provide the framework and infrastructure for independent ministries and churches to come together, share resources, support one another, increase our membership and expand the impact for our communities.

At Fifth Element Free Church, we believe that every spiritual journey is unique and deserving of support. Our mission is to empower individuals and the small businesses they create with a shared vision of spiritual growth and community service. By folding your spiritually-based small business into an associated church, you can transform into a thriving community that not only fuels your passion, but uplifts others as well.
If recent history has taught us anything, it's that too many small businesses face a myriad of regulatory challenges that tethers them to a corrupt system, and hinders both their growth and their ability to influence the community. Transitioning to an associated church often provides a lawful solution to these problems, freeing you to focus fully on your mission.
We aren't your average church; we are a community dedicated to supporting each other in both our spiritual and entrepreneurial endeavors. If you're ready to explore all of the ways that we can help you amplify your impact, we invite you to connect with us today. Let's embark on this sacred journey of growth and service together!

HOW TO KNOW IF BECOMING AN
ASSOCIATED CHURCH IS RIGHT FOR YOU:
Potential associated churches are comprised of passionate entrepreneurs and small business owners who seek to align their spiritual values with their professional endeavors. If you have ever felt constrained by regulatory hurdles, or faced a lack of community support for your unique way of doing things, becoming an associated church with Fifth Element may be the answer you've been looking for. We understand the challenges you face, and offer a pathway to unity through decentralization.
What To Expect
Those who fit best within our community can articulate the purpose of their church. They have a definite mission and a clear vision, and their services are tailored to addressing the spiritual needs of their respective communities. The benefits of becoming an associated church are many: spiritual fulfillment, network-building, increased community impact, sacred sovereignty... the list goes on. At Fifth Element Free Church, we are committed to operating in complete integrity, and within the confines of established First Amendment jurisprudence. With these principals in mind, we have built a container that we work tirelessly to maintain - we are looking for people who value transparency, ethical dealings and open communication.

Freedom Was Calling. We Answered.
Fifth Element Free Church was officially founded in 2023 by Jessica D'Angio and Jordan Bernard. Since then, our community has grown to include more than two dozen ministries and sister churches, spanning across thirteen states (and counting!). We have ministries serving their communities in various fields, including but not limited to: agriculture, education, holistic health, elder care, pre and post-partum services and general spiritual maintenance practices. Our intention at Fifth Element Free Church is to help people find God in their own way, and on their own timeline. We promote sacred sovereignty above all else.
