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 over 2000 years ago. The Church exists to worship the Holy Trinity, to preach the Gospel to our community, and to transfigure the lives of her children into the likeness of Jesus Christ.

We thank you for visiting our website and we hope that you will be come back often.  We also want extend to everyone a warm invitation to visit us and join us in worship. We look forward to meeting you in person so be sure to stop by our welcome table when you visit so we can say hello.

Kontakion of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called

"My dear parishioners I am asking you to commit to a holy project- to read with me a little portion of Holy Scripture each day according to our agreed upon calendar of readings. This will allow us together to read from the beginning to the end of the Holy Bible over the course of one year (September 1, 2011- August 31, 2012)".
