Welcome
We are an Orthodox Christian community founded in January 2011 and committed to proclaiming and living the historic Faith “once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3) and that which has been believed at all times, in all places, by all Christians.
Our Mission is a youthful and family-oriented church, full of college students and midshipmen during the academic year. It is a place of continued growth and healing in Christ for those already Orthodox and a welcoming home for those “storm-tossed” by the world and seeking healing and the fullness of the life in Christ for everyone. As we live out our faith, we believe in the Church’s ministry to serve “in the world” but not be “of the world.”
