The Orthodox Church is a body of self-governing (autocephalous) churches sharing a common history, faith, and liturgical and sacramental life. The head of the Church is Jesus Christ. Its faith and teachings are expressed through the Holy Scriptures and Holy Tradition, especially as contained in the decrees and canons of the Seven Ecumenical Councils. It is notable for its profoundly positive view of the human person and the body, its sacramental approach to the world, its rich and beautiful worship, and its deep current of mysticism.
The Greek Orthodox Church traces its historical and spiritual roots back to the earliest Christian communities of modern-day Greece and Asia Minor, and ultimately to the first church at Jerusalem. In our faith and practice, we consider ourselves to be living descendents in direct continuity with the Apostles of Christ and the saints of all ages.
The congregation seeks to "live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ by maintaining the faith delivered to the apostles and handed down throughout the ages, worshipping together as a community of love, fellowship, and shared spiritual growth, and reaching out through ministry to serve the needs of those around [them]".
