Where the Depths Speak, and All Are Welcome

Beneath the still waters and under the radiant sky, the orcas move with purpose, grace, and power. At the Church of Orca, we honor these magnificent beings as symbols of strength, unity, and wisdom. Orcas are guardians of the deep whose songs remind us of the harmony that binds all life.

Led by the Grand Matriarch, we gather to celebrate the ocean’s mysteries, the interconnectedness of all living things, and the profound peace that comes from listening to the call of the whales.

About the church

Our Belief

We believe that the orca is not only a creature of the sea, but a spirit of divine balance: powerful yet gentle, fierce but compassionate. To honor the orca is to live with intention, to protect the world we share, and to carry the song of unity wherever we go.

Our Community

The Church of Orca is open to all who seek belonging, reflection, and renewal. Whether you stand on the shore, dive beneath the waves, or simply close your eyes and listen for the echo of the deep, you are already part of our pod.

Together, we celebrate: • The wonder of nature and the wisdom of the sea • The rhythm of life, reflected in the tide • Compassion, stewardship, and harmony with all beings

Join the Pod

Every week, our community gathers to share stories, meditate on the orca’s lessons, and find peace in the presence of kindred spirits. No matter your background or beliefs, you are welcome to swim beside us. We celebrate learning, listening, and being transformed by the beauty of belonging to something greater than ourselves.

“The ocean does not ask who you are. It simply carries you home.”
