Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church

The Orthodox Church is the Church which has existed continuously in the Middle East and Greece since 33AD, from the time of the Apostles. It is the faith of the majority of Christians in the Middle East, Greece, Russia, Romania, Serbia, Albania, Ukraine, Georgia and Bulgaria. With the exception of Rome, the local Churches mentioned in the New Testament have, continuously until today, remained Orthodox. The Churches of Corinth, Thessaloniki, Damascus, etc., are Orthodox. The Orthodox Church in America is the continuation of the first Orthodox mission to North America, begun in Alaska in 1794 by St. Herman and 6 other Russian monks. The Church has been in continuous operation in America since that time, and is the second largest Orthodox jurisdiction in America, with over 600 congregations. It was granted autocephaly (self-government) by the Patriarch of Moscow in 1970, at which time we took the name Orthodox Church in America because we want to be a Church for all Americans, not just a particular ethnic group. We are in full Communion with the Greek, Antiochian, Russian, and other canonical Orthodox Churches in this country and abroad.
