Welcome
Welcome, and thank you for visiting the national homepage of the Western Orthodox Christian Church.
We hope that our website will help you learn more about who we are and make you want to "come and see."
We Believe
We believe in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Our mission is to be fully devoted to the Orthodox Christian Faith divinely instituted by Our Lord Jesus Christ and passed down throughout the ages. We show God’s love and concern for our fellow man at every opportunity. Through works of charity and opening our doors to others we feel that we are walking in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. All are welcome to the Orthodox Faith.
Our Faith
We profess the Orthodox Christian Faith. We adhere to the Seven Ecumenical Councils. The Divine Liturgy is our public form of worship to the Triune God. The Seven Holy Sacraments are the vehicles of Grace instituted by Christ God to help us on the road to eternal salvation.
Evangelical
We adhere to the two sources of Divine Revelation as given to us by Christ God: Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture.
We are faithful to the Church as founded by Christ and described in Sacred Scripture. Yes, we are biblical in the true sense of the meaning: one cannot have the Bible without the Church, and one cannot have the Church without the Bible.
