Saint Thomas Eastern Orthodox Church

Saint Thomas

Welcome To Saint Thomas Eastern Orthodox Church

St. Thomas Church is a vibrant, God-worshiping community of Orthodox Christians committed to fulfilling the body, mind and spiritual needs of all people.

What to Expect

You will experience a sensory smorgasbord of sights, sounds and smell. You’ll first notice that the fragrant scent of the church is a surprise. If you’re there for a service, you’ll see folks milling about, lighting candles (a symbol of Christ) and offering prayers before colorful paintings, icons including icons of Jesus and His Mother (known by the original Greek of “Theotokos” which means “Mother of God”). Usually, someone will come up to you and welcome you, perhaps asking your name so the priest can welcome you after the service.
