"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28)
We greet you, dear visitor to our website, with the same greeting that appears over the front door entrance to our church. It is an invitation to everyone from our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ Himself to come to His Holy Church.
Mission Statement of our Parish:
The mission of Christ the Savior Orthodox Church is to proclaim and live out the gospel of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ as it has been handed down to us since apostolic times. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, we:
-Worship in the fullness of joy and truth.
-Unite ourselves with Christ through sacramental life.
-Reach out and care for others in love.
By being faithful to this life, we are transformed into the Body of Christ, bringing the Kingdom of God to all.
Introduction to our Website:
Our website is designed to provide both a glimpse of our parish family life, as well as to serve as a sourse of information for parish visitors seeking directions to find the church. Perhaps you have arrived at the website from another Internet location? We encourage everyone to explore our site; to learn further about us and about Orthodox Christianity. Our photo gallery is periodically updated, catching important events in the life of our parish. If you would like to learn more about Orthodox Christianity in general, or us in particular, we encourage you to contact us. We would love to speak with you.
Saint Nectarios of Aegina, our parish patron Saint, in the process of building a Monastery, used the image of a lighthouse saying:
"I am building a lighthouse for you, and God will put a light in it that will shine unto the breadth and length of the whole world. Many will see the light and will come here."
It is our prayer that all who visit this website will be attracted to that same Light, our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ and will come join us in worshipping Him.
"I AM the Light of the world; whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8: 12-14)
