About Us

Mission, Vision, and Values

(All services & activities are in English)

Mission

The mission of our parish is to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and our neighbors as ourselves. Serving Christ, Serving People.

Vision

To experience, in communion with each other, a foretaste of God's Kingdom in this world and eternal life in His Kingdom to come.

Aim & Purpose

The aims and purposes of our parish are to keep, practice and proclaim the Orthodox Christian Faith pure and undefiled.

We renew our faith continually through active participation in worship, the sacraments, discipleship, and corporate and individual prayer.

We offer acceptance, joy, peace, belonging and “koinonia” to all in our community and to all those who walk through our doors, welcoming each person as part of one Christian family.

We follow Jesus’ command to “Go Forth” by sharing Christ’s love beyond our church walls to those in physical and spiritual need.

We are responsible to teach future generations in Holy Tradition, and to inspire them to acquire the Orthodox phronema--mindset or outlook--in order to live out the values of our Orthodox Christian faith.

We commit, in thanksgiving, our time, talent and treasure to support our church building and its community, safeguarding the ministerial, physical, and financial needs to ensure the health of His Church and to further the Gospel message now and into the future.

Beliefs

Our beliefs are best summarized by the Nicene Creed of 325 AD. This is the Creed of the one, ancient, and undivided Christian Church and the only one ever used by Orthodox Christians.
