Coffee Hour

Every Sunday after Divine Liturgy, we gather for coffee, pastries, and conversation. This is where friendships deepen and newcomers feel welcomed into the family.

Study Groups

We gather throughout the week for Scripture study, liturgical theology, and patristic reading. Grow in understanding and encounter Christ through the Fathers.

We visit the sick, deliver meals to those in need, and support one another through life's joys and sorrows. We are Christ's body caring for one another.
