Order of Centurions

The Order of Centurions is an independent non-profit, non-denominational fellowship open to all Christians. The motto is "Fear God and do what is right" In Acts, Peter’s said of Centurion Cornelius, "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Purpose

The purpose of the order to emulate the devout life of Cornelius, the faith of the Centurion of Capernaum, and the witness of the Centurion of Calvary. The Order seeks to encourage a belief in God and practice of worship that is like that which was held in the primitive and early Church - like that which the early centurions would have encountered. The Order’s objectives are reflected in its Rule and Vow and include:

• Encouragement of regular reading of and meditation on Holy Scripture [2Tim 3:13-17],
• Prayer [1Thes 5:16-18],
• A fear and love of God [Rev 14:7],
• Right and just acts as Jesus commanded in the Summary of the Law [Matt 22:37-40], and
• Witness of the Faith in words and deeds [Matt 5:16].
