Independent Sacramental Directory

This page provides a partial listing of individuals, churches, jurisdictions, and institutions associated with the Independent Sacramental Movement (ISM)—with an emphasis on those primarily located within the United States.

Because of the sheer diversity and number of independent sacramental communities worldwide, a truly comprehensive directory is impossible. This list is therefore offered as a representative overview, not an exhaustive index.

Scope and Criteria

This listing focuses on communities that identify with the sacramental and catholic tradition while maintaining a basic adherence to the core beliefs of Christianity.
Institutions or groups that clearly depart from essential Christian faith—such as those primarily shaped by Gnosticism, magic, or New Age philosophies—are not included. I hold that sacramental validity and integrity depend upon a foundational acceptance of Christian belief.

Disclaimer

This directory is provided for informational purposes only.
Inclusion does not imply endorsement or verification of a community’s doctrine, morality, sacramental validity, or ecclesial legitimacy. I make no claims or judgments regarding the beliefs or practices of any individual or group listed here.
Visitors are strongly encouraged to exercise their own discernment and due diligence when exploring any community.

 

Ongoing Updates

This is a work in progress, and new entries will be added as the project continues to develop.
