The Bulgarian Old Catholic Church is guided by the spirit of the early undivided Church. Our values reflect a deep commitment to the Gospel, the sacraments, and compassionate service.
1. Faithfulness to Apostolic Tradition
We uphold the teaching of the early Church, rooted in Scripture, the creeds, and the seven Ecumenical Councils.
2. Sacramental Life
We celebrate all seven sacraments as visible signs of God’s grace, open to all the baptised.
3. Synodal Leadership
We believe in shared responsibility between clergy and laity, expressed through the Holy Synod and local church councils.
4. Reverent Worship
Our liturgy draws from both Eastern and Western traditions, celebrated with dignity and spiritual depth.
5. Mercy and Inclusion
We strive to be a Church of mercy, welcoming all who seek Christ, regardless of background or circumstance.
6. Service to Others
We serve the poor, the displaced, and those on the margins — both in Bulgaria and abroad — as a living expression of our faith.
