We are an apostolic expression of the early christian church to go forth into all the world bringing the fullness of faith by means of preaching the gospel and traditions of the ancient Christian church.
We are primarily a church of converts who have found a renewal of our faith through the fullness of the faith that always existed since the day of Pentecost, based on the salvific work of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
As is the case with most of us, our faith needs shoe leather so we can walk as Jesus walks. The Orthodox Church has given us the ability to express the heavenly here on earth. By means of the Divine Liturgy and the other mysteries (sacraments), grace is received by the believers to incorporate the life of Jesus in our daily actions.
