"To be transformed into the likeness of God": this is the goal of theological education and formation in the Orthodox Church. Currently, every Saturday, Rdr. Thomas leads inquirer classes after Vespers. The Mission's online calendar lists the times and subjects of these classes. These classes are primarily intended for inquirers, catechumens and anyone who simply wants to learn more about the Faith. The classes follow a set of books on the Orthodox faith by Fr. Thomas Hopko. These are not necessary for attendance, but are available in the church bookstore. Contact Rdr. Thomas (Kevin) for more information.

Adults- Currently adults are asked to participate in Sunday Orthros (see service times).

Feel free to keep you children with you in this service if you wish.
