Holy Apostles Orthodox Mission

"To be transformed into the likeness of God": this is the goal of theological education and formation in the Orthodox Church. Currently held on Sundays after Coffee Hour, Fr. Michael, Rdr. Thomas and Daniel Greeson lead inquirer classes. These classes are primarily intended for inquirers and catechumens but are open to 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.

(FOR THE ADVENT SEASON: Vespers, followed by a meal and Bible Study led by Father Michael and Reader Kevin Burt on the Sacraments) Wednesday at 6pm.

Bible Study is held each Tuesday, following Vespers and Dinner which begin at 6 PM. Classes are offered for both Adults and Children, with the children currently learning about the heroes of the Faith while the Adults study the Gospel of Matthew, with special emphasis on the understanding of the ancient Christian commentators.

Classes are held every Sunday morning at 8:50 AM in the fellowship area. The classes end at 9:45, or 15 minutes prior to the start of Divine Liturgy.
