Ministries

"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, and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost 2021 years ago."​

The Future of Our Church

Our children are not only the bearers of our legacy but also the future leaders and stewards of our Church. Let us, therefore, commit ourselves to nurturing their spiritual growth, equipping them with the values and virtues that will guide them in their journey of faith and service to God and His people.
