We are established as a wider congregation that will allow any Orthodox Christian to join long-distance and participate in our on-line Services as well as other community events or ministries. 

Membership by its very definition has the advantage of belonging and brings the comfort of being part of a valuable community within the larger denominational identity Holy Orthodoxy worldwide.

Belonging is important because it significantly impacts mental and physical health, fostering resilience and well-being. It is a fundamental human need, influencing how we perceive ourselves and interact with others. A strong sense of belonging is linked to better coping mechanisms, reduced stress, and improved overall quality of life. 

Being part of a community means participating in the life of the congregation, engaging in worship and growing in faith through Orthodox Christian teaching. It is through the church that we experience the power of the Holy Spirit, guiding us to fulfill the Great Commission and to give witness to the faith through our life.
