We believe that Sacred Tradition is the life of the Church and as such is the means for interpretation and discernment. Sacred Tradition is expressed in the:

• Sacred Scripture
• Liturgy
• Creed
• Lives of the Saints (living and dead)
• Art especially icons

We believe in the inerrancy and divine inspiration of Holy Scriptures and that final interpretation rests with the Catholic "Universal" Church and not the individual. For example:

• We accept that homosexual practice is incompatible with Scripture and Sacred Tradition and as such we cannot advise the legitimizing or blessing of same sex unions or ordaining those involved in same gender unions. However, we also recognize that there are among us persons who experience themselves as having a homosexual orientation. Many of these are members of the Church and are seeking the pastoral care, moral direction of the Church, and God's transforming power for the living of their lives and the ordering of relationships.
• We believe that abortion and euthanasia are the taking of human life.
• We believe the Apostles Creed to be the baptismal symbol and the Nicene Creed the Statement of the Faith of the Early Church, and we believe ALL that it professes.

We believe in the seven sacraments of the Church. Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Anointing of the Sick (Extreme Unction), Reconciliation (Confession & Absolution), Holy Matrimony, and Holy Orders.

• Concerning Holy Eucharist we believe in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. And that Holy Communion should be made available to all Christians baptized in the Trinitarian formula regardless of tradition or denomination.
• We believe that as Baptism provides regeneration and marks one as Christ’s on forever then too all baptized Christians should be allowed to receive the Sacraments of Holy Communion, Anointing, Matrimony, and Reconciliation.
• Concerning the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, We believe that both Scripture and the Sacred Tradition of the Church, upholds faithfulness in marriage between a man and a woman in lifelong union, and believes that abstinence is right for those who are not called to marriage. However, we also believe that Jesus is merciful and those who have been divorced and/or remarried are offered the sacraments of the church.
• We believe and accept the doctrines of the Seven Early Church Ecumenical Councils without exception to the Anathema statements and accept those canons which are accepted by the majority of the Catholic Church.
• We believe in and appreciate the wisdom and guidance of the Early Church Fathers.
• We believe and hold apostolic succession.
• We appreciate the wisdom and guidance of the founding Fathers of the Old Catholic Movement as expressed in historic documents of the Old Catholic Churches of Europe which was to return to the faith of the undivided church. However, we also believe that the Churches of Europe as well as many other “Old Catholics” have now abandoned the original intent of the founders and instead have accepted and profess a more postmodern faith based on current societal reasoning rather than the immutable faith as handed down by the Apostles and their doctrine. With this said we accept and profess the:
  1. The Apostolic / Holy Tradition of the Undivided Church.
  2. Declarations of the First Seven Ecumenical Councils.
  3. One Creed as the statement of faith. (Nicene without the Filioque)
  4. Other Documents Accepted as Old Catholic teaching are:
     • The Road to Unity - A collection of agreed statements of the Joint Old Catholic Bishops and the Orthodox Theological Commission
     • The Act of Union of 1911between Archbishop Mathews and Metropolitan Egerassimos Messarra of Beirut.
     • The Profession of the Old Catholic Faith formulated by the Old Catholic Communion of North America Bishops Assembled in synod on August 16th, 2019
