Welcome to the Apostolic Catholic Church website! We are a church of second chances and new beginnings.

We welcome all as Christ. As the bible in our logo indicates we are firmly rooted in the New Testament as we affirm the presence
of Christ in the poor, the needy and the oppressed.
The bread and cup you see signify that the banquet table has been set and it is indeed a table of plenty. Welcoming all to
share in Christ as we become His arms and legs in this world through apostolic service. Join us please for the feast that
Jesus has meant for everyone!
Bishop Charles (Chuck) Leigh
A Special Message to Our Website Visitors
In its present incarnation the Apostolic Catholic Church was formed by several priests and ministers from various main
line denominations who had served in the third world. They sought to recreate the vibrant radical servant churches they experienced
in the mission field. The special charism of the church is service to the poor and marginalized. We are radically committed
to social and economic justice. Most of our communities are in inner city or rural areas.Our priests and deacons are encouraged
to live with the population they serve. They are expected to live at the same ecomonic level as the community.
The Apostolic Catholic Church is one of the larger old catholic groups in North American. In contrast to most old catholic/
independent catholic groups, the Apostolic Catholic Church has more active communities than it has clergy.
Presently we need three priests or deacons for two established, thriving communities. If you would rather do ministry than
talk about it contact me. If you have an existing ministry with a similar charism and need encouragement and fellowship please
contact me. If you are a deacon or a priest or a minister or a lay leader within a Christian context and find the contents
of this site of interest let the Spirit lead and call me so that we may discuss possibitities.
