Are you new to Christianity itself, or have no church background?

We are all created by God, in His image. We have bodies and spirits, and it is universal across humanity that in all times and all cultures, people have a sense of longing for "something more", a "higher power" -- all attempts for lonely souls to find and know God.

God had a plan, from the very beginning, to save people and call them together as His own. He replaces alienation with adoption as His children. He covers rebelliousness with forgiveness. And in Jesus Christ, he provides a focus for that desperate longing in every single human heart.

Jesus came to the world not to condemn it (which he is entitled to do), but to save it. He established His Church, and gave His apostles authority over that Church. The Church is called the Bride of Christ, and Jesus gave His life for her. The Church assails the very gates of Hell, freeing souls to know God, and to worship Him.

And this church, this same Church, has endured for almost 2,000 years, and is known as the Orthodox Church.

A few words on a website can't possibly cover all that God has in store for you. But we pray it can be the start of a journey Home. Click HERE to continue the journey...

"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest." (Matthew 9:37-38)
