"The Orthodox Church is evangelical, but not
Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not
Roman. It isn't non-denominational; it is pre-denominational. It
has believed, taught, preserved, defended and died for the Faith of
the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost 2000 years ago."

Apostolic Christianity for the 21st Century
Welcome to our website! We are the only
Orthodox parish in 100 miles serving the Tri-State area around Quincy,
Illinois, bearing witness to the fulness of the Christian Faith once
delivered by the Apostles. If you are an Orthodox Christian
living in the area, we hope to see you soon. If you are searching
for the purity of the Apostolic Faith in a world where the meaning of
"Christian" seems to change every year and churches are constantly
reinventing themselves according to the latest fad, come and see for
yourself what Eastern Orthodox Christianity is all about, where we
unswervingly hold to the faith "once-for-all delivered to the saints"
as we have for nearly 2000 years.
Founded
on January 1, 2004, we are a mission parish of the Diocese of Chicago
and the Midwest of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) under the
omophor of Archbishop JOB. We have been in our current storefront
location at 611 Hampshire Street since October 2005. We plan to
build or purchase a proper temple in Quincy in the future.
If you have never been to an Orthodox service and know little or
nothing about the Eastern Orthodox Church, do pay us a visit and get
some first-hand knowledge for yourself. If you are an Orthodox
Christian living in the Tri-State area and do not regularly attend
services elsewhere, we hope you will pay us a visit soon, as we are
your local parish and have been planted here to serve you. |
