In general, members of the ICCEC are expected to be of the highest moral, ethical, and religious character, expressing in their words and behavior the mind of Christ that dwells within every true Christian. All practices should find their basis in Holy Scripture, and accountability for conduct is emphasized through nurturing relationships with other like-minded believers.

With regard to religious life, members are to seek regular, weekly opportunities for Sabbath worship that includes receiving the Eucharist. Corporate worship is the norm since a love for the Church (the Body of Christ) is the natural expression of a committed love of Christ.

Corporate worship also walks hand-in-hand with individual growth and maturation of personal spirituality. Members are highly encouraged to engage in a structured pattern of devotional study – especially the Offices of Daily Prayer, reading, and prayer along with a healthy view of the other ancient spiritual disciplines (e.g., fasting, intercession, stewardship, silence, service, etc.).

Tithing a tenth of all income is taught in our churches as the minimum biblical standard for the financial support of the local parish.
