Holy Trinity Orthodox Church

What Is the Purpose of Worship?

"Why do Orthodox Christians attend the Divine Liturgy and other religious services of the Church? What is the purpose of such services? Is the purpose of such attendance 'to get something out of it' or is it an offering?"

Welcome to Our Visitors

We are delighted in your interest to join us in our worship of the Blessed Trinity. It is our desire that this experience will deepen your understanding of and love for God. If you've never been to an Orthodox Church before, there are some things we want to share with you that will help you better understand what is going on and what we are about. Visitors unfamiliar with the Orthodox style of worship will benefit from reading A Visitor's Guide to the Divine Liturgy. Feel free to contact our parish priest, Fr. Tim Sawchak, or our lay leaders with any questions about ministries and activites at Holy Trinity parish. As our members have remarked about their own experience, we think you, too, will discover our church to be warm and inviting, a comfortable community within which to seek the Kingdom of God. We look forward to your visit with us.

St. Symeon the New Theologian
"Just as gold tarnished in depth cannot be properly purified and restored to its proper brightness unless it is cast in the fire and thoroughly hammered with mallets, so when the soul has been tarnished with the rust of sin and become thoroughly useless it cannot be cleansed and recover its original beauty unless it meets many trials and enter into the furnace of tribulations."
