“Acquire a peaceful spirit, and around you thousands will be saved.” — St. Seraphim of Sarov

The Fathers did not give us theories. They gave us a way of life that actually changes the human heart — tested over centuries.

Tonight: Vespers at 6:00 PM, followed by a class. Come learn the faith that formed the saints.

This Sunday, June 21, St. John will be blessed to receive the epitrachelion (stole) of St. Porphyrios the Wonderworker of Kavsokaliva at 8:30 a.m. for veneration throughout Divine Liturgy which begins at 9:30.

St. Porphyrios, one of the most beloved Orthodox saints of our time, was renowned for his profound love, humility, spiritual wisdom, and miraculous gifts of healing and discernment. Through his life, he revealed the boundless compassion of Christ and continues to intercede for countless faithful around the world.

Please join us to receive this great blessing and seek the prayers of this holy elder.

St. Porphyrios, intercede for us!

If you have ever read the Book of Acts and wondered, “Where is that Church today?” — you are asking the right question.

Today there are tens of thousands of Christian denominations, each with a different answer. But for 2,000 years, one Church has preserved the faith of the Apostles — unchanged.

Thousands of Protestants and evangelicals are discovering it for the first time — not as an idea, but as a home.

We made you a free 5-book library of the Holy Fathers to begin the journey. No strings.

The greatest saints of the Church were not born holy. A murderer. A thief. A woman the world had given up on. Then grace found them — and they became saints.

“Our hearts are restless, O Lord, until they find their rest in Thee.” — St. Augustine

Whatever you are carrying, there is no sin the mercy of Christ cannot heal. The only unforgivable sin is the one we refuse to bring to Him.
