We will have a grand opening at our new location in Westlake with a Divine Liturgy on Sunday December 21st, 2025. Join us for coffee hour and a meal after services.

Services

Orthros
Orthros, or Matins, is the Church’s Morning Prayer Service. It is the most complex of the daily cycle of services. It’s like Sunday School for all ages, full of scripture, tradition, and the lives of the saints.

Divine Liturgy
The Divine Liturgy is the primary worship service of the Church. It is a Eucharistic service led by a priest in which communicants partake of the Mystical Supper of Our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ.

Typika
The Typika is a specific form of service which mirrors the Divine Liturgy. It can be used when there is no priest present.
