Evangelism

Visitor Orientation When visitors come to an Orthodox Church, they’re curious. Maybe they read up on us in a class; perhaps a friend of theirs is Orthodox and talked about us; or they could have spotted our dome and wondered what’s inside. What’s inside is a totally different Christian experience, not an easy one to comprehend. It’s as ancient as the first church, the church we happen to be. While our ushers greet our guests and introduce them to our worship practices, it takes far more than a quick tour to grasp the profoundness and authenticity of Orthodoxy. For some visitors, they might be one and done. For others, it’s just begun. Becoming Truly Human This is a new initiative of the Antiochian Archdiocese. It is a film series spread out over several weeks. Called Becoming Truly Human, the movies focus on believers and non-believers, Orthodox and Non-Orthodox. It’s filmed documentary-style, personal stories told in their own words. The goal of BTH is to help us attain a depth of enlightenment that leads to becoming Truly Human, the way God intended us to be. Orthodoxy 101 Throughout the year, our priest holds an 8 week, introductory class to the Orthodox Church. This class offers a broad, comprehensive look at Orthodoxy, emphasizing how a life of faith provides purpose, peace and fulfillment. Though this is an introductory class, it is for everyone, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike.
