The Orthodox Church was founded by our Lord Jesus Christ and is the living manifestation of His presence in the history of mankind. The most conspicuous characteristics of Orthodoxy are its rich liturgical life and its faithfulness to the apostolic tradition. It is believed by Orthodox Christians that our Church has preserved the tradition and continuity of the ancient Church in its fullness compared to other Christian denominations which have departed, to smaller or greater degrees, from the common tradition of the Church of the first 10 centuries.

Our common creed is our belief in the Bible, our deep faith in Jesus Christ, and our acceptance of the unconditional love of God.
