The Orthodox Christian Church
Explore the historic, pre-denominational Orthodox Christian Faith
New to Orthodoxy?
The Orthodox Faith is not merely a set of ideas or cultural practices. It is a Person. It is an experience of Holy Mystery. For centuries, Orthodox Christians have walked a path that is experienced as LIFE. It is a process of becoming one with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and also one with each other. Becoming Orthodox doesn't happen merely through reading texts, but rather through humble participation in Holy Mysteries. The Orthodox Church believes that God's love embraces the whole world. Regardless of your background or beliefs, you are welcome to come, explore, and see what so many have found to be true, beautiful, and life-giving - "the Faith once and for all delivered to the saints."
