Our Mission and Vision

Our Vision: To provide consistent liturgical services in the Byzantine Rite, educate our youth and adults in eastern beliefs and traditions, provide hospitality to visitors, and become a self- sustaining community dedicated to serving the local community.

Our Mission: To go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything the Lord Jesus Christ has commanded… (Mt 28:19-20)
