Christ is Born! Glorify Him!

Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One, and the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One. Angels with shepherds glorify Him; The Wise Men journey with the star, since for our sake the eternal God was born as a little Child.

Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

On the Great and Holy Feast of Pascha, Orthodox Christians celebrate the life-giving Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This feast of feasts is the most significant day in the life of the Church. It is a celebration of the defeat of death, as neither death itself nor the power of the grave could hold our Savior captive. In this victory that came through the Cross, Christ broke the bondage of sin, and through faith offers us restoration, transformation, and eternal life.

Building Project Site Plan - $25,000.00

At the 2024 Annual Meeting of Christ the Savior, the Parish unanimously passed a motion to develop a site plan for the construction of a new Temple on the church property adjacent to the existing Parish Center. The estimated cost to develop this plan is between $15,000-25,000 .  If you would like to donate towards this special project, please earmark your donation for the “Building Fund” or make a donation online. May the Lord bless you for your generosity and may He guide the work of our hands!

What is the Orthodox Church?

“The Orthodox Christian Church is evangelical, but not Protestant.
It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman.
It is not denominational, it is pre-denominational.
It has believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for the
Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost nearly 2,000 years ago.”
