Schedule Update


Despite the snowfall, the divine services for Clean Week will be offered at Christ the Savior as originally scheduled.

Please use discernment and prioritize safety, taking into account road conditions in your area. If travel is unsafe, remain at home in peace and join us via our livestream.

If you do attend, allow extra time and use caution. May God grant everyone safe travels and a blessed Clean Week.

With apologies for the late notice, we wanted to inform you that Vespers will not be held this evening, Monday, 3/10 at Christ the Savior. Ongoing work in the mechanical room and chapel would make it difficult to hold the service. However, Presanctified Liturgy is still scheduled for Wednesday, 3/12 at 6:00 PM, and we hope you can join us then. Thank you for your understanding!

Christ is Born! Glorify Him!

Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One, and the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One. Angels with shepherds glorify Him; The Wise Men journey with the star, since for our sake the eternal God was born as a little Child.

Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

On the Great and Holy Feast of Pascha, Orthodox Christians celebrate the life-giving Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This feast of feasts is the most significant day in the life of the Church. It is a celebration of the defeat of death, as neither death itself nor the power of the grave could hold our Savior captive. In this victory that came through the Cross, Christ broke the bondage of sin, and through faith offers us restoration, transformation, and eternal life.

We've raised

Our Goal
$500,000.00
500K Matching Donation - $500,000.00

By God’s grace and the faithful generosity of our parish family, we successfully completed our initial $100,000 matching challenge and launched a second $150,000 match to continue building momentum toward our new temple. In an extraordinary act of generosity, our matching donor has now expanded this commitment, increasing the total match to $500,000. Every gift given toward construction will be doubled, dollar for dollar, up to $500,000. If we fully respond, this campaign could generate $1 million toward building our new church home.

What is the Orthodox Church?

“The Orthodox Christian Church is evangelical, but not Protestant.
It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman.
It is not denominational, it is pre-denominational.
It has believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for the
Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost nearly 2,000 years ago.”
