Orthodoxy touches many lands and many languages.
Whatever your background, we are glad of your interest and bid you peace in our Lord Jesus Christ.
We invite you to work and pray with us in giving glory to God the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
All are welcome!
​
Note on Partaking of Holy Communion at evening Liturgy:
Please keep in mind and practice the rule of abstaining from any drink or food from noon until Communion is offered when participating in Holy Communion at evening Liturgy. Those who are ill or on medications are not required to observe this rule strictly. However, even they should abstain at least an hour or two before the beginning of Liturgy.
Stewardship
During this busy holiday season, please take a moment to consider your pledge for 2020. It is the stewardship and devoted support of our parishioners that allow our church not only to operate, but to plan and grow every year through the grace of God. When we believe, stewardship follows. Stewardship is faith in action; action motivated by humble gratitude to God for his blessings in our life. We thank you for your generosity, support and faith.
Capital Campaign
We made history by purchasing 7.5 acres in Ashburn for our permanent church home! Donate today so we can begin building.

We hear you proudly singing in the pews every week, and you have wonderful voices! I'd like to invite you up front on Sundays to help us sing. If you can read music (even a little) and/or if you have a good ear (you find yourself singing along, even when you are outside of Church), please join us. Come one, come all - and all ages are welcome (encourage your young teens and kids too).​
