The Orthodox Church
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. - Ephesians 2:19-20
The Orthodox Church was founded by our Lord Jesus Christ and is the living manifestation of His presence in the history of mankind. Its history is chronicled throughout the whole of Scripture: The Old Testament Church in the Law, Psalms, and Prophets; The New Covenant in the Gospels, Acts, and Epistles; and the Church of the Ages in the Apocalypse of Saint John. The Orthodox Church is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is Orthodox, but not Jewish. It is Catholic, but not subservient to the Pope. It isn't non-denominational; it is pre-denominational. Its members have believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost over 2000 years ago. The Church exists to worship the Holy Trinity, to preach the Gospel to our community, and to transfigure the lives of her children into the likeness of Jesus Christ so that they may be united with him unto eternity.
Whoever does not have The Church as a Mother, can not have God as a Father
- Holy Martyr Cyprian of Carthage (250 A.D.)
