Church at Present

The ICM Church claims and cherishes its place in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church which is the body of Christ. It rejoices in the inheritence of the Apostolic Faith and loyally accepts the fundamental principles of the Historic Creeds - THE NICENE, ATHANASIAN AND THE APOSTOLIC. The ICM Church is Orthodox in faith, Anglican in tradition, Episcopal in Governance and Sacramental & Evangelical in Practice.

The ICM Church believes that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments ( King James version )to be the Word of God and to contain all things necessary for salvation adopts the Book of Common Prayer-1928 edition and the Telugu translation of the ICM Church - 2004 and acknowledges the 39 articles of Religion of 1801. The Psalms of David and the Traditional Andhra Christian Hymn Book - 1866 (Dawson Hymn Book published by Christian Literature Society as adopted by all Churches of Andhra Pradesh)are adopted for Doxology. The Church allows MEN for the Holy Ordres. The Ministry will be carried on by the THREE fold ministry : the Bishop, the Priest and the Deacon under the valid Apostolic Succession according to the techings of St.Ignatius of Antioch (c.110 A.D), one of the Apostolic Fathers.

The ICM Church mainly recognizes two Sacraments namely HOLY BAPTISM
and HOLY EUCHARIST ( Lord's Supper )as of divine appointment and perpetual obligation of which, it is the previlege and the duty of the members of the Church to avail themselves.

The Rt.Revd.N.V.Amrutha Rao, the old pious man has faced tremendous poblems in and around the Church, financial constrains etc.,and hardly could be able to conduct a GENERAL ELECTION throughout the Diocese duing 2004. By the abundant Grace of God, the elected Church Committees, Parish Committees, Central Committee and the Trust Board were formed officially in November, 2004 and functioning well under the able guidence and leadership of Bishop N.V. Amrutha Rao.

A young , energetic , eloquent speaker, Social Worker,writer and a good church administrator, a priest working under the Catholicate of the East ( Syrian Orthodox Church ), The Rev.Fr.Dr.N.JOHN SD Raju was requested by the Trust Board to come and join with the ICM Church to be the second line of leadership. Fortunately, he has accepted and he was made Suffragan Bishop on 12 th February 2005 witnessed by thousands of faithful at Eluru.

Now the Church has two Dioceses namely Diocese of Krishna Godavari and the Episcopal Missionary Diocese of Eluru.
