MINISTRY TRAINING

INDEPENDENT MINISTERS

Sacred Balance is a non-denominational spiritual community offering independent minister training in the Christian Mystical tradition. 

 

The training is offered for those devoted to the Way of the Christ and the transformative process of sacraments, initiations and ordinations. Those called to serve in ministry may train for the Diaconate (Deacon training, approx. 2 years) and may apply for further training in the Priesthood (Priest training, approx 3 years in total, or approx 1 year after Diaconate).  Ministers may go on to serve congregations, officiate at weddings, funerals, baby blessings, and offer the sacraments of Communion, Absolution, Baptism, Marriage, and Last Rites. 

 

All ministers are ordained in the independent sacramental tradition, which allows them to serve according to their calling and as the spirit guides them.  If you are feeling called to ministry, please contact us for an exploratory conversation.

Year 1

SPIRITUAL DIRECTION / NOVICE TRAINING

A novice is trained in the practice of meditation and prayer and dedicates themselves to regularly attending services and receiving sacraments. The novice works with a priest to review their life, transform through the power of forgiveness and grace, and accept
the initiation of mystical baptism. This baptism is a process of cleansing and atonement as well as a dedication to Master Jesus and Mother Mary as the Teachers of their soul. In addition, attendance in annual two book contemplations and two training retreats per year is essential to progress in the transformative process. This process leads to the next initiation of mystical
illumination as space is made in the psyche and energy body for light to increase and radiate from the novice.

Year 2

DEACONATE TRAINING

For the first level of ministry includes apprenticing with a priest or
bishop in the care of the congregation and the chapel. The first level of ministry requires a life vow in service to God and humanity. This is an independent ministry, not tied to any denomination or group, not even the Sacred Balance community. Once ordained, if a deacon desires to move toward priesthood, further training in the movement of spiritual energy in and through the minister, they focus on spiritual practices leading to the initiation of Self-
Realization, or awareness of the divine in their own being.

Year 3

PRIEST TRAINING

Training for the priesthood includes further experience and guidance in
relating to the inner divine and disciplined practice of the energetic and mystical arts of moving energy through the sacraments and initiations. This second level of ministry requires eternal vows in service to God and humanity. The Mystical Christian Priest is one who vows all lifetimes to working toward the raising of human consciousness and the restoration of every human soul to atonement or oneness with the Divine. The Priest Ordination marks the completion of the ministerial training at Sacred Balance, though some will be raised up into the bishopric.
