What We Believe

The Orthodox Church was founded by our Lord Jesus Christ and is the living manifestation of His presence in the history of mankind. She is evangelical, but not Protestant. She is orthodox, but not Jewish. She is catholic, but not Roman. She is not non-denominational — she is pre-denominational. The Orthodox Church has believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost, over 2,000 years ago.

The Church exists to worship the Holy Trinity — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — to proclaim the Gospel to every person, and to transfigure the lives of her children into the likeness of Jesus Christ. This is not a faith of theory alone; it is a faith that is lived, breathed, sung, and embodied in every Divine Liturgy, every prayer, every act of love.

Our Mission

At Sts. Theodore, our mission is to open the doors of the ancient faith to everyone who seeks the truth. We exist to bring hope to all who are living in darkness, to help each person find the light of God, so that in His forgiveness and love, we can be set free to have life more abundantly through His perfect love.

We believe in the physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation that comes through a living relationship with Jesus Christ — not as an idea, but as a daily reality. Our vision is a parish where every person, no matter where they come from, can encounter Christ and be changed by Him.

For Those Exploring Orthodoxy

If you are inquiring into the Orthodox faith, know that you are not alone — and you are deeply welcome here. Many of us stood at this very crossroads: overwhelmed by the sheer weight of change, unsure how to begin, perhaps even wondering if we were worthy of the journey. The first thing each of us had to admit is that we could not do it alone. We needed help, and we needed one another.

Orthodoxy is not something you learn only from books. It is something you experience — in the beauty of the Liturgy, in the warmth of a community that prays together, in the quiet transformation that happens when you stand before the icons and let the silence speak. We encourage you to come, to ask questions, to sit with us, and to let the faith reveal itself to you in its own time.

We are here to meet with you, answer your questions, and help you take whatever next step feels right. There is no pressure, just an open door and open hearts.

“Do you need a great physician to heal your soul? We have them here. Do you need sobriety from a fallen world that has intoxicated you? We have the best counselors here. Do you simply need to know that you’re not alone? We have great comforters who will never abandon you.”

The Saints Who Guide Us

The Orthodox Church is filled with countless men and women who were divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit and revealed to us by God to help each one of us on an individual and personal level. These brave souls — the saints — shared their joy and the light of Christ with millions of people across two millennia. They are not distant historical figures; they are our living companions, our intercessors, our family in Christ.

Your First Visit

We know that walking into a new church can feel daunting, especially one with a tradition as rich and unfamiliar as Orthodoxy. Please know that there is no expectation that you’ll know what to do. Just come as you are.

When you arrive, feel free to introduce yourself to anyone — we’re a friendly bunch. Orthodox worship involves standing for much of the service (though seating is available), and the Liturgy typically lasts about an hour and a half. Children are always welcome.

After Sunday Liturgy, please join us for our weekly coffee hour / meal — it’s the best way to meet the community and ask questions in a relaxed setting.

A Note on Holy Communion

In the Orthodox Church, Holy Communion is reserved for baptized and chrismated Orthodox Christians who have prepared through fasting, prayer, and confession. If you are not yet Orthodox, you are warmly invited to approach the priest at the end of the Liturgy to receive a blessing and blessed bread (prospera). This is not a barrier, it is an invitation to go deeper.

What to Expect

If you’re visiting for the first time, Orthodox worship may look and feel quite different from what you’re used to — and that’s a beautiful thing. The Liturgy is rich with hymns, prayers, incense, and icons. Don’t worry about doing everything perfectly. Simply come, be present, and let the worship wash over you. We’re glad you’re here.
