We offer and profess seven sacraments. They are Baptism, Communion, Confirmation, Holy Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick, Reconciliation, and Holy Orders. Our denomination believes that since all persons baptized in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are [by this Baptism] members incorporate into the Body of Christ that none of our Christian brothers and sisters of other denominations should be refused Communion or any other Sacrament.
It is our utmost desire to provide a place where all can come to worship God, say their prayers, receive the Sacraments, and be fed with the Word. Of particular concern to us is the offering of valid sacraments to those who have left Roman Catholicism, or other Christians seeking forms of worship and beliefs founded in the traditions and beliefs of the early church. . We are currently seeking mature adults who feel a call to Holy Orders (Deacon, Priest) and/or those already ordained that are seeking to incardinate. We welcome those who are self-sustained, as we pay no salaries to our clergy. Our clergy, who like St. Paul, pay their own way. We offer seminary training (leading to degrees in theology and ordination) to both men and women. (see ordination / incardination)
Our Liturgy
Each parish is free to use a rite that is conducive for worship at the local level as long as the rite used is approved by their bishop. For this reason you will find that some of our clergy may elect to use the Book of Common Prayer, another may use a modified Roman Rite, or an Orthodox Rite, and yet others may use a Rite which is a mixture of Roman, Anglican, and German Old Catholic. Once again our primary concern is both providing a place of worship for all and being a place where clergy is empowered to provide ministry.
