  • The Orthodox Church in America (OCA) - this is our parent jurisdiction. The Orthodox Church in America traces its origins to the arrival in Kodiak, Alaska of eight Orthodox missionaries from the Valaamo Monastery in the northern Karelia region of Russia in 1794. Today, the Orthodox Church in America numbers some 700 parishes, missions, communities, monasteries, and institutions throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
  • The OCA offers a wonderful section on Orthodox Christianity that includes general information on the Orthodox Faith, questions and answers about Orthodoxy, the Orthodox Churches and more.
  • Orthodox Christians believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. One easy and very rewarding way even for very busy people to incorporate Bible reading into their day is to read the selections appointed for each day's services. There are two helpful resources on the OCA web site that make daily Scripture readings and more easy and time-efficient:
    • On their Scripture Readings page, you will find the texst of each of the Scripture selections appointed to be read in church for each day of the year.
    • Feasts and Saints provides wonderful life stories, icons, and prayers (troparia and kontakia) for many saints commemorated for each day of the year.
  • Prayers for Orthodox Christians is a collection of many types of prayers for daily prayer and also for many specific circumstances.
