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.
Daily Scripture:
John 10:7,9-10
Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

A Daily Prayer
A Prayer for Living Contented Lives
Father, help us to prayerfully apply Your Scriptures so that we can learn to be content in any and every situation. A godly contentment will fill our hearts with peace regarding our station in life in place of an anxious heart that struggles to acquire the latest gadget, belong to an affluent group we can’t afford, or strives to keep up with the Joneses. Help us to fix our eyes on You, not on that which we see others possess as we pursue contentment through our knowledge of You who supplies us with everything we need. In Jesus’ name, we pray.
Amen
