INDEPENDENT CATHOLIC CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Jesus said: "every scribe who is instructed for the kingdom of heaven is like a person who is a householder, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old." (Matthew 13:52)
The Independent Catholic Christian Church is a small independent sacramental jurisdiction.
We affirm and believe:
- The Old and New Testaments as our Scriptures.
- The Nicene Creed as the sufficient statement of Christian faith.
- Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human.
- Jesus Christ saves humankind through His death and resurrection.
- The seven sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, Annointing of the Sick, Reconciliation, and Ordination.
- The preservation of the apostolic succession.
- The historic threefold ministry of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons.
- The ordination of male, female, straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Christians as Bishops, Priests, and Deacons.
- The marriage of both same-sex and opposite-sex couples as sacramentally valid.
- The Ten Commandments and the Summary of the Law as the standard of Christian morality.
- The Christian life of prayer, expressed in its highest form in the Lord's Prayer.
We welcome all people to full participation in church and sacraments.
We worship God with a diversity of liturgical expressions.
