We are men and women of faith gathered from diverse backgrounds seeking an expression of the church that is fully Sacramental-Liturgical, Evangelical and Charismatic. We celebrate the living historic forms of the liturgies of the church, and the seven Sacraments. We are also committed to the preaching of the Gospel to fulfill the great commission, believing that through the baptism of the Holy Spirit all believers are empowered to participate in the fullness of ministry. The CEC is governed by bishops in apostolic succession who submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit, and decisions are made in council upon coming to a consensus. The church is administered by the orders of bishops, priests, deacons, and laity.
We have the duty and obligation to proclaim to all the earth the sanctity of human life, the dignity of human life, and respect for human life. We believe that human life begins at conception and ends with natural death. Therefore, we affirm that no government has the right to alter the law of God.
The name of the church is “International Communion of the Charismatic Episcopal Church” or “ICCEC” (commonly called “The Charismatic Episcopal Church”, or “CEC”). Today, CEC churches around the world have a common vision of making visible the Kingdom.
