If you are new to Orthodoxy, just curious, and want to stop by please do come. Our community enjoys meeting new people, and talking story over a cup of coffee and some food after our Sunday services.

Many people have found Frederica Matthewes-Green’s article “12 Things I Wish I’d Known…” helpful. It’s written for people visiting an Orthodox church for the first time.

Don’t be worried about not following along with the practices of the community. It’s fine just to come and observe.

One important thing to know is that the Orthodox Church does not practice what is sometimes called “open communion.” We ask that if you aren’t Orthodox, you not approach the chalice for Communion. Don’t be surprised, however, if you’re offered some blessed bread, called “antidoron,”  which is an expression of our hospitality.
