Visit the website of our Metropolia: http://TheOrthodox.org ) We are under the Omophor of His Beatitude Metropolitan ALEXY and His Grace Bishop NICHOLAS of the Diocese of North America and the Diaspora (Visit the website for Holy Transfiguration Church, Bishop Nicholas' cathedral: http://HolyTransfigurationOrthodox.org )
Our Rector is the V. Rev. Fr. Elias Yelovich.
It is the goal of the priest and people of the Orthodox Church of the Entrance to bring Christ to the world by means of the Holy Tradition that has been handed down through the ages from our Master Jesus Christ to His Apostles, and from the Holy Apostles to the Bishops of the Holy Orthodox Catholic Church. We follow a traditional Orthodox life and attempt to follow the Holy Canons and customs of our faith according to the principles passed to us through Holy Tradition and maintained under the guidance and leadership of our Hierarchs.
We are an Eastern Rite parish, conducting all of our Divine Services as directed in the Holy Canons in the language of the people, in our case English, and following the Ecclesiastical Calendar (Old Style Church calendar) without change. Above all, we seek, in the words of the Holy Apostle Paul to the Ephesians (5:1-2) to be imitators of God as beloved children and [to] walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
We are dedicated to improving the lives of those in our community. Your contribution today helps us make a difference.
