Our Background

The Companions are an intentionally dispersed community, open to members from all over the world. The Companions welcome inquirers who feel called to the Vowed Religious Life without regard to religious affiliation, gender, gender-identity, sexual orientation, relationship, or marital status. 

Our focus is on being one with Our Lord Jesus Christ through intentional presence.  We seek to be united in the Presence of God throughout our day in whatever we do.  Our vows of Stability, Conversion of Life, and Obedience lend themselves toward a life in His Presence.

 The Nicene Creed is our statement of belief.  We value Holy Scripture, Tradition, and Reason as equal parts of the whole of our worship. 

We are in full communion with the following: 

• The Episcopal Church/Anglican Communion
• The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
• The North and Southern Provinces of The Moravian church
• Old Catholic Churches of the Union of Utrecht
• The Iglesia Filipina Independiente
• Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar, India
• The Church of Sweden
