Introduction
This is a free, four-week course of study which teaches the basics of being an Orthodox Christian. Fr. Stavros offers this class twice a year and everyone is welcome to attend. The syllabus is the same for both sessions, so if you miss any of the classes in a session you can make them up the next time the course is offered.
Expect a relaxed atmosphere with presentations, interactive demontrations, and lots of time for questions and answers.
Who should attend?
- Interfaith couples: This will help the non-Orthodox person understand more about what is going on in our church.
- Anyone who is considering joining our church: Going forward, this class will be a requirement for those who wish to join our Orthodox faith.
- Recent converts to Orthodoxy: For those who recently joined the Church and want to know a little bit more.
- Anyone who wants to know more about the basics of our faith, or who wants a refresher course in the basics of Orthodoxy is encouraged to attend.
