A new parish dedicated to witnessing to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ transcended their thinking by offering:

Worship exclusively in the English language;
An open Christian environment for the unchurched Orthodox, unsettled Orthodox, newcomer to the church, but mostly to attract the large number of “mixed marriages” not in the church;
Providing dynamic Christian education for youth and adults;
Becoming a resource center for Orthodox Christian literature;
Strengthening everyone’s relationship with our Lord and one another.
