The Orthodox Church The Ancient Christian Church in the modern world

We are part of the worldwide Orthodox Church – the oldest Christian Church in the world. This is not a theological statement, it is an historical one. In every part of the world there are Orthodox churches, missions, and monasteries. They are found in traditionally Orthodox countries such as  Russia, Greece, Romania, Serbia, Ukraine, and the Middle East. Orthodoxy is found in India, Japan, China, the Philippines, Germany, France, Poland, Finland, across the British Isles, and Scandinavia. 

Orthodox churches are found throughout the African continent, including Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, and across Central and South America. In fact, the only religious structure of any kind on the entire continent of Antarctica is an Orthodox church. The oldest form of Christianity is alive and well, and found throughout the whole of the world.

With love in Christ,
