Join us in the Vineyard!

Parish...Mission...Ministry...where are you called to serve?

If you are called to join us and feel led to start a mission, parish, or chaplain ministry within The International Free Protestant Episcopal Church in the USA, please contact Bishop Ken Young, OSF.

Modern, relevent, contemporary and progressive ministries are needed throughout the USA!

Clergy in The International Free Protestant Episcopal Church in the USA and the Order of Servant Franciscans are usually "working" clergy (bi-vocational, as was St. Paul, for example). This is a very ancient model of spiritual leadership, by which the clergy-person earns a living in "secular" employment in her/his community. TIFPECUSA currently has no paid positions, and provides no benefits such as insurance or retirement. However, some benefits may be available to our acive clergy via programs through the ICCC. Each deacon, presbyter (priest), or bishop is a pioneer in creating a local ministry appropriate to her/his calling. Along with other Anglican and Episcopal jurisdictions around the world, we typically use the Book of Common Prayer (1928 or 1979) or The English Missal, according to the needs of the people served.
