Welcome to St. Mary Orthodox Church

This series of videos was created to help first time visitors and inquirers to the Orthodox faith have a little more information on what to expect the first time they come to an Orthodox Church.  The videos were made in our church, by our then Subdeacon now Deacon Innocent, to help visitors get a little taste of what our church looks like on the inside and feel a little more comfortable on their first visit. 

We pray that you find these videos fruitful and that you soon come join our services in person.  God bless.

What is Orthodoxy?

"Sometimes called the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Orthodox Church is the first Christian Church, the Church founded by the Lord Jesus Christ and described in the pages of the New Testament.  Her history can be traced in unbroken continuity all the way back to Christ and His Twelve Apostles.  For twenty centuries, she has continued in her undiminished and unaltered faith and practice.  Today her apostolic doctrine, worship, and structure remain intact.  The Orthodox Church maintains that the Church is the living Body of Jesus Christ."      

Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America.
