History
The Church was established by Luke of Wellmoore on the 22nd of February 2022, after the state religion of Wellmoore became Pastafarianism.
However, the church was disestablished on 5 December 2022.
Doctrine
As the church was pastafarian it identified with the teachings of the Church and Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. As a result of this the church outright rejected dogma.
As well as this, the members got their beliefs from Prophet Bobby Henderson, founder of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. However the Church of Wellmoore took holds of more orthodox beliefs so may have been considered more orthodox pastafarians.
The church also encouraged missionary work, as does the Gospel of the FSM, but didn't force members to become missionaries.
Governance
The head of the Church was the Supreme Governor, which was a posting held by the Monarchy of Wellmoore. As well as the Supreme Governor, the main governing body of the church is the General Synod which consisted of a number senior Pastafarian Ministers who are part of the Church. Not all ministers, however, serve on the Synod.
