We are glad you're here!
At Ss Peter & Paul Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church, growing in our relationship to Christ is what we are working together to achieve.
Our worship, programs, and activities are designed to bring everyone "to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:13) so that Christ may be present to the world through us in our daily lives.
Learning & Living our Timeless Faith
In September 2021, we will go back to these bi-weekly virtual meetings to explore the liturgical year of our Orthodox Church, to learn about the meaning of different feast days (through biblical readings, iconography, and hymnology) and how they relate to our life today.
We look forward to your joining us!

Light a Candle
Upon entering an Orthodox Church, it is customary to light candles and offer prayers for one’s personal needs or that of a family member or friend. Candles are lit before icons as a sign of one’s faith and hope in God’s help that is always sent to all who turn to Him and His Saints with faith and prayers. The candle is also a witness of our faith, and expresses our burning and grateful love for God.

Being a Steward |
“Stewardship is what you do with all of the gifts God gave you.” |
|
“But this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” (2 Corinthians 9: 6-8) |
Let's work together for our community to thrive for many years to come! Here is how you can get involved. |
Time
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21)
Would you then spend time serving the one who loved you & was crucified for you through serving those whom he created? |
Talent
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey." (Matthew 25:14-15)
What would you do with your God-given talents? |
Treasure
"He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.” (Luke 21:2-4)
Will you bring the firstfruits of your labor to the Lord "So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine" (Proverbs 3:9-10)? |
