Are you a first time visitor to an Orthodox Church?

We encourage you to read "12 Things I Wish I'd Known..." a wonderful introduction to Orthodox Christian worship, by author and speaker Frederica Mathewes-Green. From her closing paragraph:

Orthodoxy seems startlingly different at first, but as the weeks go by it gets to be less so. It will begin to feel more and more like home, and will gradually draw you into your true home, the Kingdom of God. I hope that your first visit to an Orthodox church will be enjoyable, and that it won’t be your last.

THE ORTHODOX CHURCH is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman. It isn't non-denominational, it is pre-denominational. It has believed, taught, preserved, defended and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost nearly 2000 years ago in 33 A.D.

The following links and articles are a fairly comprehensive introduction to the spirituality, history and dogmas of Orthodox Christianity. However, Orthodoxy is not so much something that can be described or "summed up" in some neat and tidy (and predictable) package. Orthodoxy is life itself, and is therefore above all of the heart.

We invite you to come and join us in worship of the One True God in Three Persons: Father without beginning, together with His Only Begotten Son, and His All-Holy, Good and Life-Creating Spirit.

Amen, Amen, AMEN!
