The grace of the Holy Spirit inspires us to worship God fervently, to grow spiritually, and to share His love with each other and with everyone we meet.

We are inspired, first and foremost, to be a worshiping community. We seek to worship God, not in a formalistic or perfunctory way, but fervently, in spirit and in truth, through the traditional forms of Orthodox worship.

We are inspired, secondly, to grow spiritually. It is not enough to be a Christian in name only. It is not enough to be casually religious or "spiritual" people. We want changed lives. We seek to be disciples of Christ, followers of His, in daily life, distinguished by the way we live and our devotion to Him.

We are inspired, thirdly, to share His love with each other and with everyone we meet. Sharing His love with each other means real fellowship – not casual, superficial friendliness –, but a deep, authentic community of people who love each other enough share life joys and hurts together, openly, honestly and deeply.
