Welcome To Our Parish Website!
Our parish is located within the geographical and canonical boundaries of the Diocese of the South and within the canonical jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA). We welcome everyone to join us in our weekly worship services, Great Vespers on Saturday evenings at 5:30 p.m., and the Divine Liturgy each Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. A full liturgical schedule is found in the "Worship" page of our site.
We exist as a community to offer praise and thanksgiving to the biblical God who reveals himself through his son Jesus Christ and who sends his life creating Spirit. Our worship services are conducted in English. We recognize the need to proclaim the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the greater Charlotte area, and to the whole world. Therefore, this website was developed in order to help us in our ministry to the surrounding community. On our Links of Interest page, you can find the addresses and phone numbers of the other local Orthodox churches, as well as basic information about the Charlotte area. Visit our site often because there will be periodic updates and information about our parish, and the Orthodox Church in general.
If you would like further information about our parish, its ongoing ministry, or the Eastern Orthodox Church, please contact our parish priest, Father William C. Mills, by e-mail at wcmills3@yahoo.com, or by phone at (704)596-8252
