Location Entheo Church is headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Board members must reside in Washington State and be able to commute to Seattle occasionally to support local governance, community engagement, and in-person participation as needed.

Compensation This is currently a volunteer role; stipends may be considered in the future.

Overview Entheo Church is seeking three Working Board Members to join its Central Hearth as both governing leaders and active contributors within a startup, non-theistic interfaith church rooted in entheogenic practices and a relationship with the natural world. We welcome applicants who are grounded, accountable, collaborative, and able to translate vision into action. Prior board experience is welcome but not required. Applicants agree with and uphold our Tenets of Faith and Code of Ethics.

This is not a symbolic or advisory-only board seat. It is a working board role for people who can contribute both strategic oversight and practical follow-through. We are especially seeking candidates with strengths in:

• Finance and development 

• Governance, legal, policy, or public affairs

• Content creation, education, and community building

We warmly encourage individuals from historically marginalized and underrepresented communities to apply. We believe a diverse, inclusive, and non-tokenized leadership body is essential to building a spiritually grounded, ethical, and community-centered organization. We also strongly value candidates with experience in fundraising, grassroots organizing, community building, or traditional plant medicine work, as these skills are critical to establishing a sustainable and accessible church. If you are passionate about our mission and bring lived experience, relational leadership, or the ability to mobilize resources and people, we invite you to join us in shaping this work.

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for people who can help bring structure, sound judgment, and real-world execution to an evolving organization. Strong candidates may come from nonprofit, legal, finance, policy, operations, community organizing, or values-aligned leadership backgrounds. Deep experience in entheogenic communities is welcome, but not required, if you bring strong governance, operational maturity, and alignment with our mission.

This role is best suited for someone who is comfortable working in a startup environment with evolving systems, limited infrastructure, and shared responsibility for building what comes next.

• Strong judgment, accountability, and follow-through

• Respect for legal boundaries, ethical practice, and responsible organizational conduct
