Do You Read?

Do you read? Reading involves you intimately with the word, and the word is the definitive means of communication between man and man, and between God and man. Remember, the Son of God Himself is called the Word in the holy Scriptures. The Scriptures themselves form a record of God’s revelation to mankind, written in the form of a book.

Welcome to Orthodoxy
Orthodox Christianity is the authentic and original Christian Faith founded by Jesus Christ. As an Orthodox Christian you can experience heaven on earth through the Divine Liturgy which is mystical, spiritual, and beautiful, with its incense, icons, and sacred music. You can transcend time and space while you meditate upon the words and teachings of Jesus Christ. It’s the most pure form of Christianity – nothing added.
The Mission of Orthodoxy
Orthodox Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God—Who came to earth to heal our brokenness and restore all of us–and all Creation–to our original beauty. He promises that we can be healed of all our brokenness and filled once again with God’s Light and Life and Love—right now—when we follow Him and participate in the wonderful gifts He offers in and through His Church. As we participate in these gifts, God’s Life pours into us—making us more and more like Him—Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
