OUR BELIEFS
The Orthodox Christian Church is the original church established by Jesus Christ. It is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman. It isn’t non-denominational, it’s pre-denominational. It has believed, taught, preserved, defended and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost nearly 2,000 years ago.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Our Sunday service is called the Divine Liturgy, during which we pray and worship together, and celebrate the joy of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. A Greeter will welcome you when you arrive and give you a book with the text and music for our service. Don’t worry about losing your way in the book; just ask the person next to you what page you’re on. They’ll be glad to help you. Read More Here
