Orthodox Church of the Holy Cross has a large population of converts as well as those born into the faith and we encourage all who are interested to come, visit our parish and get to know us so they can experience the American expression of Eastern Orthodox Christianity for themselves. Our rich life in Christ can be seen on our parish life page. Come and See! is the statement you will hear when asking an Orthodox Christian about their faith. Orthodox Christianity is not mere knowledge. Our faith is experiential. It is a lifestyle and the experience of the Orthodox Liturgy is central to our faith. For those new to Orthodoxy and its spirituality some theological and historical background may be helpful. For this, we have provided links to many useful resources on our Orthodox Christian Resources Page. To be sure, within the Orthodox lifestyle, there is a rich wealth of information about the historical Orthodox Christianity, but true faith to the Orthodox is both believing and doing. If you would like to learn more about our parish and our faith we recommend you come to our services for a first hand experience. We look forward to meeting you. We also encourage you to contact Fr. John so we may know to expect you and make sure are welcomed and made comfortable.
Fr. John Shimchick |
