About us the
ECC-USA
Community
Clergy, professed, and lay members of the Ecumenical Catholic Church+USA, are dedicated to spreading the love and teachings of Jesus Christ. Through our faith, community, and service, we strive to create a welcoming environment for all who seek spiritual growth and connection. Our inclusive congregation embraces diversity and promotes unity among believers. Join us in worship, fellowship, and outreach as we journey together in faith and love.

+Church+
We name ourselves a “Church” – Church meaning less an institution and more a people – the “People of God!”
We believe this is the case wherever two or more are gathered in Jesus’ name.
We value and celebrate the seven Catholic sacraments and the Liturgy of the Holy Eucharist (Mass). We honor Mary and the saints and we believe in accordance with the teachings of the Apostles and Early Church.

And, within this Community, new monastic communities and small Christian communities can form, under episcopal authority and accountability.
Our Community is open to people of all faith traditions who commit to Christ’s imperative to “love God with your whole self and love your neighbor as you love yourself.”
+
Our current membership serves God as single persons, married persons, parents, teachers, members of our congregations, counselors, hospital and police chaplains, members of monastic orders, and ordained clerics (deacons, priests, bishops).
The ECC-USA meets in Synod/Retreat each year, usually in October, to learn, pray, and socialize, to grow in spirituality and supportive friendship.

Our Community offers each member the support of solidarity. As a fellowship of men and women, lay and cleric, married and not, we stand ready to assist each other in finding and living the apostolic ministry to which each of us has been called. We provide encouragement to each other
“all along the way.”
