Orthodox Christians for Life (OCLife)
The Orthodox Christians for Life (OCLife) is our parish pro-life ministry. We partner regularly with our local pregnancy resource center to attend their events, collect items to donate to their baby boutique and to equip the Orthodox Christian community to strengthen its commitment to the sacredness of human life from conception to death, illuminating the Church’s teaching on life issues through education and engagement.
Our OCLife ministry also leads the charge of supporting expecting mothers and their families in our parish. We celebrate each mother with a baby shower at Fellowship Hour before their due date, and we coordinate a meal train for their family after they give birth as well.

Fellowship Hour Teams
The fellowship hour, or coffee hour, in Orthodox churches is an important part of our Sundays and happens every week immediately following the Divine Liturgy. It’s a time where we get to build community, practice Christian hospitality, and strengthen relationships within our church family.
In the Orthodox Church, the Fellowship Hour Teams work together to host Fellowship Hour for their assigned day approximately 5 to 6 times per year. Many hands make light work, and working together to host fellowship hour is a beautiful labor of love for our parish community.
