The International Joint College of Apostles & Bishops (JCOAB) confess the Lord Jesus as God and Savior according to Church Tradition and the Holy Scriptures and therefore seek to fulfill together their common vocation to the glory of the one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Apart from the our own independent reformations, The Int’l Joint College of Apostles & Bishops has operative branches and standing commissions to advance our unity through joint effort for the sake of the world.
The Joint College was established to preserve the integrity of the episcopacy. General Members of the council are in the true meaning “Valid Apostle / Bishop” working together for the support of the true faith. Associate Members of the council do not have “Apostolic Succession” and teaching of the gifting of an Apostle.
College or Colleagues are those explicitly united in a common purpose and respecting each other’s abilities to work toward that purpose. The “IFOCC” College of Apostles / Bishops” are associates in their ecclesiastical office.
Our collegiality connotes respect for each other’s commitment and the spiritual charge to the office God has entrusted us to. We work toward a common purpose as leaders and gain knowledge and experience from within the college to fully function as Apostles / Bishops. In a narrower sense, we as members of the college are each other’s colleagues respecting and gleaning from each other as iron sharpens iron.
This College will meet twice a year for Episcopacy Training and again for a time of Fellowship & Relaxation with our spouses.
