Welcome to the Independent Reformed Catholic Church
The Independent Reformed Catholic Church is a sacramental, non-Roman catholic church embracing the fullness of Christianity. We are in full recognition of and hold fast to the teachings of the ancient faith, in the face of modern day anti-Christian hostilities, mind-set, and governmental persecution.
The Independent Reformed Catholic Church is NOT part of the Roman Catholic Church, but our bishops hold valid apostolic succession. We are neither Roman Catholic nor Protestant. Our tradition evolved from the "Old Catholic" church, but we further enhance our ecclesiastical life by embracing the Augsburg Confession. Our goal is to achieve "early church" standards in the purity of our worship.
Although we do operate some conventional churches, for the most part; in the seeking of early church purity; the majority of our congregations are formed into Fellowships consisting of a smaller number of people than is expected in the conventional church setting. Some Fellowships may even meet in a private home. Some have called us an “underground church”, because we are not interested in money and do not go along with government control of the Church.
The Theology, Liturgy, and practices of the Independent Reformed Catholic Church are both ancient and Catholic. We are established to maintain that ancient faith and holiness of worship. Our purpose is to share the truth of Christ and open the doors to a church home for the seekers of truth.
