The Ecumenical Catholic Communion (ECC) is the largest independent Catholic jurisdiction in the United States, and a member of the National Council of Churches. Our denomination traces its history through the European Old Catholic Churches, which came together as an autonomous group after the First Vatican Council (1869-70). Our mission is to offer valid sacraments to all those seeking a faith community whose beliefs are grounded in the traditions of the early Christian church.
 
Our Vision Statement in the Pacific Northwest, which includes faith communities in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, commits us to "restoring relationships of justice, peace, and love with God, with one another, and with all of Creation by living out our baptismal ministry as the Body of Christ." As a welcoming body of believers, we open our hearts and our worship services to all who seek a place where unity is celebrated and diversity is respected. As Paul wrote in his letter to the Ephesians (4:5-6), "There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all, who is over all, through all, and in all."
