SUNDAY DIVINE LITURGY 10 AM - OUR LOCATION: 21580 ATLANTIC BLVD STE 160, DULLES, VA 20166
OUR PURPOSE
To witness to the transformational Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through active participation in divine worship, fellowship, philanthropy and living according to the timeless Orthodox Christian faith and Tradition.
ABOUT US
“Hold to the standard of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.” (2 Timothy 1:13)
The Orthodox Christian Church, also called the “Eastern Orthodox,” “Greek Orthodox” Church, or simply “the Orthodox Church,” is the oldest Christian Church in the world, founded by Jesus Christ and with its beginnings chronicled in the New Testament. For us the highest authority in the Church is our Lord Jesus Christ who is the Living Head of the Church. We preserve and seek to live what we believe is the authentic Faith of the Apostles, Christ’s original followers, which our Lord gave them and which they delivered, in both written and oral form, to their successors. This living Tradition continues to inspire the Church through the work of the Holy Spirit.
OUR PATRON SAINTS
All Orthodox Christian churches have a patron saint to which the community is entrusted. The feast of our community is the Synaxis (gathering) of the Holy Apostles, celebrated each year on June 30th. As a community dedicated to the Holy Apostles, we strive to honor their memories and to hold fast of the final command of our Lord before He ascended into glory (Matthew 28:16-20) to preach the Truth to all peoples the joy of Jesus Christ.
OUR CLERGY
Fr. Thomas Manuel was born in Boston, Massachusetts while his father (Fr. John Manuel presiding priest at St. Nicholas Virginia Beach) attended Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology.
