"Of all Holy works, the education of children is the most holy", said St. Theophan the Recluse. We, who are blessed by knowing the light of teaching of the Holy Orthodox Church, must feel great aspiration to pass it onto our children, for they could grow up in this Holy light!

The Church School meets every Saturday at 4:30PM. in the Church hall located downstairs in the Church. Our priest offers age-appropriate religious instruction in the Orthodox faith, in the English and Russian language. With God's help, we hope our youth will progress in wisdom, reason, and every good deed for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ and magnification of His Holy Church.

All learning materials, as well as a snack, will be provided at no charge, though donations, of course, are always welcome.

Parents, please make a commitment to bring your children regularly, while the program goes on they miss many important things!

All are welcome to attend.

Bible Study Class is every other Wednesday at 7:00PM in the church hall. Anyone interested in learning more about the Holy Scripture is welcome to attend. Next class will be December 23.

Inquiry Class on the Orthodox Faith is every other Wednesday at 7:00PM next time we meet December 16. Anyone interested in learning about the Orthodox Faith, its basic theology and history is welcome to ask questions.

Беседы о Православии для желающих изучать православную веру: учение, историю, традицию проходят по пятницам, каждую вторую неделю, в 19:00 в трапезной храма. Следующее занятие 18 декабря. Следите за расписанием.
