About Clergy Services

Members of the ECK Clergy have extensive training and are ordained by the Eckankar Spiritual Center in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The services offered here are available to ECK initiates as well as the public—individuals, their friends and family, and the community in which they live.

ECK Clergy

Clergy are available to officiate the four ECK celebrations of life.

1. Consecration Ceremony — An Eckankar Consecration Ceremony is a special service for infants/young children, marking their spiritual start and Soul's journey with God, celebrating new life as a dedication of self to the divine for holy purposes.
2. Rite of Passage Ceremony — A Rite of Passage in Eckankar is a spiritual ceremony for youth, typically around age 13, marking their transition towards adulthood and deeper spiritual commitment.
3. ECK Wedding Ceremony — An Eckankar Wedding is a spiritual ceremony focused on Soul's journey and divine love, often including the chanting of HU (a love song to God), readings on love's qualities, vows emphasizing treating each other with spiritual respect, and a final blessing for a joyful life together.
4. ECK Memorial Service — An Eckankar Memorial Service, called a "Translation Service," celebrates a person's journey as Soul moving on from the physical body to higher spiritual planes, viewing death as a natural continuation of life, not an end.

ECK Spiritual Aide

An ESA conducts ECK Spiritual Aide sessions. An ESA session, though not counseling, can help an individual find his own answers to spiritual questions and life situations through the aid of Divine Spirit. An ESA does not offer advice but simply listens as a vehicle for the Holy Spirit.

ECK Initiation

For students enrolled in Eckankar: ECK initiation is a spiritual rite. An earned invitation to move into a greater state of conscious awareness. It increases the power and love of Spirit in your life. With each initiation, Soul shines brighter with more of the Light and Sound of God, the Holy Spirit.
