Thank you for your interest and we look forward to meeting you at an upcoming service!
This series of videos was created to help first time visitors and inquirers to the Orthodox faith have a little more information on what to expect the first time they come to an Orthodox Church. The videos were made in our church, by our then Subdeacon now Deacon Innocent, to help visitors get a little taste of what our church looks like on the inside and feel a little more comfortable on their first visit.
We pray that you find these videos fruitful and that you soon come join our services in person. God bless.
Lazarus is in the tomb two days, seeing the dead of all ages, beholding strange sights of terror, a great crowd held by the bonds of Hades. His relatives grieve bitterly, looking at his tomb. But Christ is coming to bring His friend to life. - From the Presanctified Liturgy of the Sixth Wednesday of Great Lent

"Sometimes called the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Orthodox Church is the first Christian Church, the Church founded by the Lord Jesus Christ and described in the pages of the New Testament. Her history can be traced in unbroken continuity all the way back to Christ and His Twelve Apostles. For twenty centuries, she has continued in her undiminished and unaltered faith and practice. Today her apostolic doctrine, worship, and structure remain intact. The Orthodox Church maintains that the Church is the living Body of Jesus Christ."
