Several different classes are offered throughout the year, including introductory classes for those who are inquiring about the Orthodox faith and want to learn more, classes for those who want to become members, and a book group that meets weekly on Zoom for book discussions and Bible studies. If you’re interested in taking a class, check our calendar to see what’s being offered, or email Father Ignatius. ​

We have lots of books as well as liturgical items (incense, icons, etc.) in our bookstore in the room on the west side of the narthex.

 Our mission is to worship one God in Trinity and share the good news of Jesus with each other, people from all backgrounds, our neighbors, and the world. We do this through worshipping beautifully, connecting in fellowship, serving those in need, and providing spiritual teaching for daily living.
