The Sacraments 

These are special services of the Church through which we receive the Grace of God. It is usual to describe a sacrament as "An outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace".

We teach that there are seven sacraments within the Church. Two of the sacraments are directly given by our Lord Jesus, and are very precious. Five sacraments are of the Church and are supported from scripture but are more commonly described as Lesser Sacraments. The term Lesser simply means that they are not given directly by Our Lord Jesus, as are the first two, but rather are sacraments of life.
