About Risen Christ Ministries
Risen Christ Ministries is affiliated with the American Catholic
Church which is part of the Communion of International Catholic Church. We are a bible based church that follows the teachings of Jesus
Christ, the apostles, and the ancient Catholic Church. We celebrate in
the blessing of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through the
sacraments which He initiated.
We are not Roman Catholic. However our heritage can be traced from the
Roman Catholic Church by Apostolic Succession through the Old Catholic
Church, which separated from Rome in 1870. This separation was due to
the newly adopted dogma of papal infallibility. Since 1870 we have
maintained our Apostolic Succession by preserving the validity of our
Holy Orders and Sacraments. This has not been denied by the Roman
Catholic Church. See the link on our website:
History of the Church for more about this.
The American Catholic Church and Risen Christ Ministries participate
in what is referred to as the Convergence Movement which encompasses the
Three Streams of Ministry. We are Sacramental & Liturgical which
means we celebrate the historic liturgies of the Church and the seven
Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Confession,
Healing, Holy Orders and Holy Matrimony. We are Evangelical which
means we are committed to preaching the Gospel to fulfill the Great
Commission. We are Charismatic which means we believe that
through the baptism of the Holy Spirit all believers receive the gifts
of the Spirit for the building up of the church and the advancement of
the Kingdom of God.
May the glory of God be with you!
Father Michael
