Our Mission
We worship and glorify God, by loving and caring for each other, providing a safe, thriving and life-long home, from which we spread the teaching and good works of our Orthodox Christian Faith. Being God's stewards, we celebrate our faith by:
- participating fully in the sacramental and liturgical life of the church;
- responding to the needs of all by living the message of the Gospel through outreach to each other and to the community at large;
- fostering our God-given talents as stewards to strengthen God's church.
"Welcome one another, therefore, as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God."
Romans 15:7
