This parish of the Romanian Episcopate of the Orthodox Church in America has welcomed cradle Orthodox Christians, converts, and people returning to the faith since the late 1980s. Its mission is to make Christ's saving message real through Orthodox worship, teaching, service, and fellowship while caring for people across backgrounds. Church School meets after Sunday Liturgy, and children can also participate in choir on special feast days. Men's, women's, young-adult, music, and service ministries offer further connections. First-time visitors can arrive for Matins or join at 10:00 for Liturgy, then remain for formation and fellowship.
