Structure
The Soldiers of the Cross of Christ Church is known for the distinctive white uniforms worn by its ministers. Early in its history, the church was organized in a highly hierarchical fashion by its founder, Sellers. The church conferred upon Sellers, and later on his successors, the rank of Apostle. All other ministers are assigned a missionary rank which they display on the sleeves of their church uniforms. Duties and authorities vary according to rank, and every minister must take new vows upon being promoted to a new rank. Currently, the church is governed by a Supreme Council that is made up of bishops, and presided over by Miguel Rodriguez, the Apostle-Director of the church.
