The Liberal Catholic Church offers a unique spiritual home for those who love the beauty of traditional Catholic worship but also value freedom of thought and conscience.

Our liturgy preserves the richness of Catholic ritual—reverent Mass, sacred symbolism, and the sacramental life of the Church but also reflect a joyous and uplifting tone. At the same time, we honor the intellectual freedom often associated with Protestant traditions. Members are encouraged to study, reflect, and interpret the scriptures for themselves. Faith is not imposed through rigid dogma, but explored through personal conviction, learning, and spiritual growth.

In the Liberal Catholic Church:

✦ Members are encouraged to study and interpret the scriptures for themselves
✦ Communion is open to all who approach the altar with reverence
✦ Individual conscience and the God-given gift of free will are deeply respected
✦ Members are encouraged to seek truth through study, reflection, and prayer

Our Church also embraces a deeply mystical dimension of Christianity, emphasizing the inner spiritual life, the transformative power of the sacraments, and the soul’s journey toward union with God.

Importantly, the Church does not involve itself in political or social agendas. Our focus is spiritual life, personal transformation, and reverence for the divine.

If you are seeking a church that combines sacramental worship, spiritual mysticism, and freedom of belief, the Liberal Catholic Church may be a place where your faith can grow and flourish.

All are welcome to explore, learn, and worship. 🙏
Our services are on Sunday mornings at 10 AM 

We fondly remember Deaconess Julie Hamilton who passed away last week.  Please keep her and her family in your prayers.
