Charismatic Episcopal Church

What Charismatic Episcopal Church does

The Charismatic Episcopal Church (CEC) — formerly the International Communion of the Charismatic Episcopal Church — is a small Christian denomination headquartered in Malverne, NY (with a Selma, AL mailing address) that explicitly positions itself around the "Three Streams" identity: Charismatic, Evangelical, and Sacramental traditions. It serves congregations and individual adherents across North America through a diocese-based network of local churches, formation programming, and pro-life ministry (CEC for Life). Leadership is anchored by Archbishop Chuck Jones, with episcopal leadership extended through recent consecrations such as Bishop Brett Crompton.

CEC's product surface spans physical and digital assets: a website, podcast, YouTube channel, and Substack newsletter for content distribution; the ICCEC Catechism Curriculum (distributed via Amazon); an internal Reports & Administration System for governance and operations; annual conferences such as the 3SI (3 Streams Initiative); and formation events like Lazarus Weekend. The underlying technology stack is light — standard web and social platforms plus an internal admin tool — with no disclosed proprietary systems, AI/ML components, or data flywheels.

The business model is a non-commercial, faith-based revenue model: operating funds are sourced primarily from voluntary tithes and offerings from member congregations and individuals, supplemented by modest product sales (e.g., Amazon curriculum). There are no disclosed pricing tiers, enterprise customers, or capital-raising activities. Customer segments are spiritual seekers and members drawn to the Three Streams synthesis, including those migrating from other denominations; CEC has no equity stakeholders, making traditional PE/VC/M&A analysis inapplicable in the conventional sense.

Emerging players

• Acts 29 Network: Church planting and replanting network that shares the CEC's evangelical conviction and missional orientation but operates as a looser associational body rather than a denomination.

Direct peers

• Anglican Church in North America: Parallel North American Anglican formation combining traditional liturgy with evangelical conviction, similarly bifurcated from mainstream Episcopal Church and competing for the same disaffected Episcopal laity.
• International Communion of the Charismatic Episcopal Church: Global communion of which CEC-NA was formerly a member, representing the parent body of the same three-stream tradition now operating independently in North America.
• Anglican Catholic Church: Continuing Anglican body emphasizing historic liturgy and apostolic succession, overlapping the sacramental stream of the CEC while representing a different point on the evangelical-charismatic spectrum.
• Reformed Episcopal Church: Historic evangelical Anglican body in North America that similarly blends Reformed theology with Episcopal liturgy and polity, representing one of the closest direct theological analogues to the CEC's evangelical-sacramental stream.
• Vineyard USA: Charismatic-evangelical church planting network emphasizing the gifts of the Spirit, biblical authority, and contemporary worship, representing the closest match for the CEC's charismatic-evangelical stream in a non-liturgical context.
• Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches (CEEC): Network of evangelical Episcopal congregations organized in diocesan structures, sharing the convergence model of evangelical theology inside Episcopal polity and serving a similar target demographic.
• Sovereign Grace Churches: Network of charismatic, Reformed-evangelical churches with shared theological convictions and a similar denominational network structure for cross-congregational resources and oversight.

Broad incumbents

• Charisma Media: Major charismatic Christian media company producing content across charismatic, evangelical, and sacramental-leaning streams, sharing the CEC's broadcast ministry model at substantially larger scale.
• Church of the Nazarene: Established Wesleyan-holiness denomination in North America with similar small-denominational scale and a comparable mix of sacramental practice, evangelical conviction, and openness to the Holy Spirit.
