Thank you for your patience and your prayers! We are pleased to announce that we have entered into Phase 1 of our reopening plan, and are beginning to get back to some level of normalcy. We reopened the church on Sunday, May 24th, for communal worship and reconnecting with one another, and things went very well. At this time we are limited to 25 persons in the church for services. In light of this, we have established a reservation system so that we remain compliant. We will be adding services to the schedule in order to give everyone who wants to attend, an opportunity to do so. If you would like to visit us and attend a service, please call the church office to make a reservation.  The number is 541-683-3519.

As a reminder, the church will be open during normal office hours, Tuesday-Friday, 10 am-4 pm, and other times by appointment. You are welcome to come and light a candle, pray, and by appointment, have Confession. Please contact the church first at 541-683-3519, to make sure the priest is in.

I had the blessing to see this movie last night in Portland, and I highly recommend you watch it when it gets picked up by Netflix and/or Amazon.  Here’s a little teaser from the website:

‘Parallel Love: The Story of a Band Called Luxury’ follows the path of Luxury, a band from small-town Georgia, who, on the cusp of success, suffer a devastating touring wreck with long-term consequences. In the intervening years, they continue to make records and three members of the band become Eastern Orthodox priests. Through interviews and archival footage, ‘Parallel Love’ tells the gripping and poignant story of Luxury and documents the making of a new record, now as priests.

We apologize for the inconvenience but our website is under construction!

On April 9, 2017, well-known Evangelical Bible teacher Hank Hanegraaff was chrismated and received into the Orthodox Christian Church. Shortly thereafter, he lost a substantial part of his long-time radio audience, was accused of leaving the Christian faith altogether, and was diagnosed with cancer. He continues to grow in his new-found faith, and we thought you would like to hear directly from him about that journey.  Ancient Faith had the privilege of inviting Hank to meet in person with Frederica Mathewes-Green to talk about the dramatic spiritual and physical realities confronting him. In this fascinating three-part interview, drawn from a two-day conversation, Frederica asks the question so many have asked, “Have you left your love of the Scriptures, your understanding of the Scriptures behind?”  Enjoy all three segments of the interview to hear Hank’s answer to this and other questions about his journey, his diagnosis, and his reflections on his experiences. This new release from Ancient Faith Films is offered to you at no charge at http://www.ancientfaith.com/films/hanegraaff-interviews

Jonathon Jackson, an Emmy-award winning actor, talks about how he became Orthodox. http://pemptousia.com/video/jackson-how-i-became-orthodox/

For twenty centuries the Orthodox Church has continued in Her undiminished and unaltered faith and practice, yet She is virtually unknown to most people living in the Eugene/Springfield area.  We are orthodox but not Jewish; catholic but not Roman; we’re not Denominational, we’re pre-denominational. The Orthodox Church is the original Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ.

We invite you to come and get to know the Original! Inquirer’s classes are offered each Monday evening at 6:30 pm.
