The Independent Old Catholic Church (IOCC)

traces its roots through the European Old Catholic Churches to the Apostolic Era. Specifically, of particular concern to us is the offering of valid sacraments to those in need. As such, IOCC offers traditional sacraments and beliefs found in the Early Christian Church’s doctrine and traditions.

We are worldwide, with Clergy in North America, and Europe. And, we are looking to expand, IOCC and seeking mature adults who feel a call to Holy Orders (Deacon/Priest). In addition, we welcome the currently ordained that look to incardinate with the IOCC. But we need to note, like Saint Paul, who paid his own way, we welcome those who are self-sustained, as we do not pay salaries to our clergy.

We are a rather unique Church offering priesthood to suitable candidates for part time work, or full time. More importantly, the Independent Old Catholic Church holds valid apostolic succession and we welcome you to, with prayer, consider preparation for Ordination (see our Ordination page for more information). And, our seminary training, leading to degrees in Theology, and offer ordination to both men and women. So, check out Agape Seminary for more information.

Please take to review our web site, and if you feel a call, contact us for more information or a phone conversation.

A Daily Prayer

Dear Father in heaven, we thank you for giving our hearts hope for your kingdom, the kingdom of God. We thank you that again and again we may draw strength from this hope, find new youthfulness and courage, and discover how powerfully, though hidden, your kingdom is already approaching. Protect this vision and help us when we fail. All will come right. Whatever happens, we are in your hands, and no one shall snatch this joy from our hearts. Amen.
