Welcome to the Community of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church

 

The ministry of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church is, of necessity and by design, a ministry to all peoples of the world. We understand the need to awaken the world to the relevancy of the Orthodox faith and accept with confidence the challenge and choose to foster the concept that Orthodoxy is a haven, a sure strength for all mankind. We are fortunate to have Father Paisius McGrath serving as our parish priest, leading Divine Liturgy services on Sundays and many holy days, and providing service for other spiritual needs.

Our parish is a reflection of many nationalities: Greek, Russian, Ukraininian, Romanian, Serbian, Egyptian, Moldovan, Bulgarian, Lebanese, and American. We are a community which truly endeavors to reflect the cultural traditions of our parishioners.

We have been blessed with those families serving in the United States military. The average stay of a military family is short, but their eagerness to become a part of the parish and the energy and efforts which they contribute are invaluable. Though we are saddened when they leave, we are fortunate to share our lives with them.

We hope our website gives you a good sense of who we are as Orthodox Christians and what we believe about God and His Church. 

The Orthodox Church has her origin with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, not with a human teacher, nor group, nor a code of conduct or religious philosophy. Orthodoxy believes that the Church has her origin in the Apostolic Community called into being by Jesus Christ, and enlivened by the Holy Spirit. The Feast of Pentecost, which is celebrated fifty days after Easter, commemorates the "outpouring'' of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and marks the beginning of the mission of the Church to the world.

We are Orthodox because our tradition of prayer and worship is rooted in the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic undivided Church.

The Orthodox Church was founded by Christ through the Apostles and has maintained a living, historical connection with the Apostolic Church through the ordination of its clergy. The bishop that ordains an Orthodox priest today can trace his ordination historically all the way back to the Apostles, and through them to Christ. For this reason we are “apostolic” – rooted in the first Apostles – the disciples of Jesus.

We are also apostolic because we believe our calling is to go out and share our faith with others. For this reason, we welcome you to visit the Orthodox Christian parish in your neighborhood or town.

Although our parishes may carry a designation of Greek Orthodox or Russian Orthodox or some other ethnic identity, this does not imply that you need to be of a certain ethnic origin to join us in worship or to consider becoming an Orthodox Christian.
