WHO WE ARE

A shared faith. A common hope.

Our hope is that more of our neighbors may know Jesus Christ in the life of His Church, and that Orthodox communities across West Texas may grow in faithfulness, hospitality, and love.

The faith we share calls each of us to repentance: to turn toward God, receive His mercy, and learn to love our neighbor. We seek to serve with humility, knowing that growth is God’s gift. Our work points toward the Church’s worship and sacramental life, lived in parishes under the care of their bishops and priests.
