Sunday Service – 10:00 AM
Our Services are structured as Alternative Liturgical Services* – the Traditional Christian Liturgical framework and hymnody blended with songs and alternative liturgical forms and content.
On the first Sunday of every month we follow the Traditional Liturgical Service.
This service is also live-streamed on our Facebook page.
The Sacrament of Holy Communion
The Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month .
The Sacrament of Holy Baptism
It is celebrated as needed during our Sunday Service.
Prayer Requests
Prayer requests can be written on the Prayer Notebook at the entrance of the Sanctuary and they will be included in the Prayers during the Service. They can also be informed via the Contact Us tab on the website.

*”The definition of Alternative Liturgical Services emanates from congregational practice: forms and practices of Service grounded in the tradition of the Christian Church throughout the centuries, while open to new artistic forms to communicate the Gospel that are adequate and well connected to a given context. As Orthodoxy is something defined and unified, Orthopraxy can open and varied. That is because thinking of forms in the Divine Service is not always a matter of “or”, but rather, of “and”. The Church does not need to give up its liturgical tradition, for it has stood the test of time. And the Church does not need to give up being close to the context in which it is inserted, since the secular tradition of the Church that we receive is the result of metamorphoses in time, space and cultures in which it was inserted.”

Our churches teach that one holy Church is to remain forever. This Church is the assembly of saints in which the Gospel is purely preached and the Sacraments are correctly administered.

For the true unity of the Church, it is enough to agree about the teaching of the Gospel and the administration of the Sacraments. It is not necessary that human traditions, rites, or ceremonies, instituted by human beings, be the same everywhere.
As Paul says, Eph. 4: “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” It is enough for the unity of the Christian Church that the Gospel be preached in harmony according to a pure understanding and that the Sacraments be administered in conformity with the divine Word. It is not necessary for the true unity of the Christian Church that human traditions or rites, instituted by men, be everywhere the same

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” – Colossians 3:16
