Whom do you say that I AM?
What it means to confess & Worship Christ in the Orthodox manner
Father John teaches a class on Orthodox Christian faith every Saturday from 4:30 to 5:30 PM, – the Life in Christ as it has been faithfully demonstrated to us over the last 20 centuries.
As Orthodox, we begin every work looking to our Founder, the Lord of Creation and Messiah of Israel, Jesus Christ. Coming to know Him and His Church, we see ourselves and the world aright. Newcomers are welcome at any time!

Topics include but are not limited to:
Church History
Dogma & Revelation
Mysteries of the faith
Prayer life & Spirituality
Iconology, Ecclesiastic Art & Architecture
Liturgy & How to Worship
