Here at the Church of Gnome, we take spirituality seriously—but not too seriously. Co-led by me and my trusted dog, Phantom (aka the Grand Paw of the Church), this is a space where paths converge, beliefs are celebrated, and joy is a cornerstone. Whether you’re here for deep reflection or a laugh about gnome hats, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

We are open and inclusive to all—regardless of race, religion, nationality, sexuality, ability, or background. Our members come from every corner of the world and every walk of life. What unites us isn’t a single belief, but a shared desire for connection, curiosity, and compassion.

This isn’t a place of conversion or conformity. It’s a sanctuary of connection—a gathering where Christians, Muslims, Pagans, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists, Pastafarians, and everyone in between can find common ground. Your story enriches the whole. The Church of Gnome exists not to replace your journey, but to walk alongside it, adding light and laughter to the way.

We believe extraordinary things happen when different perspectives come together. We’re building a mosaic of wisdom, humor, and shared humanity, where the ancient and the modern, the mystical and the practical, come together in harmony.
 
We are not—and will never be—a place for politics.
Members are free to hold their own personal views and beliefs, but those views do not represent the Church of Gnome.
Only our official Church of Gnome social media accounts and website content reflect the teachings, values, and positions of the Church.

Why Gnomes?
Gnomes are icons. Beyond their role as guardians of gardens and nature, they embody values that resonate deeply with the Church of Gnome. Gnomes represent protection, harmony, and a playful approach to life, reminding us to stay grounded, appreciate the small things, and embrace joy wherever we find it.

And, of course, there’s their iconic fashion sense. Those pointy hats? Absolute masterpieces of individuality and confidence. Paired with their practical boots and timeless style, gnomes prove you can balance looking good with getting things done.

Now, let’s clear the air: the Church of Gnome isn’t about worshipping gnomes (though if you feel so inspired, we certainly won’t stop you). Instead, gnomes serve as symbols—reminders that even the smallest beings can hold the greatest wisdom. They encourage us to live with curiosity, creativity, and just the right touch of humor and flair.

Phantom, the Grand Paw
And then there’s Phantom—our loyal co-leader and the official Grand Paw of the Church of Gnome. Phantom represents everything we cherish: love, loyalty, joy, and, of course, the occasional well-timed nap. His role is more than ceremonial; Phantom keeps us grounded and reminds us to never take ourselves too seriously. With his wagging tail and wise presence, Phantom embodies the balance between the profound and the playful that defines the spirit of the Church. Whether blessing ordinations or simply demanding head pats, Phantom is an integral part of our community.

And guess what? Not only can you get ordained as a Gnomean Minister, but your pet can, too! Because in the Church of Gnome, we believe that our animal companions are more than just furry friends—they’re Sacred Companions, embodying loyalty, love, and a surprising amount of moral authority.

Join the Movement
So, whether you’re here to be ordained (human or otherwise), explore spirituality, or simply have a laugh while thinking about life’s mysteries, you’re part of something special. This is a space where differences aren’t barriers—they’re bridges.

Come as you are, bring your beliefs, and maybe even your pet. Together, we’ll create something timeless, full of love, light, and just the right amount of gnome-like mischief.

This is more than a community.
It’s a movement.
Join us and Live Like Gnomes.
