Welcome to our website! We are the only Orthodox parish serving the greater Denton, Texas region, bearing witness to the fullness of the Christian Faith once delivered by the Apostles. If you are an Orthodox Christian living in the area, we hope to see you soon. If you are searching for the purity of the Apostolic Faith in a world where the meaning of "Christian" seems to change with each passing year and churches are constantly being reinvented and recast according to the latest fad, come and see for yourself what Eastern Orthodox Christianity is all about, where we unswervingly hold to the faith "once-for-all delivered to the saints" as we have for nearly 2000 years.

Founded in July of 2001, we are a mission parish of the Diocese of Dallas and the South of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) under the omophor of Archbishop Dmitri. We have been in our current location on Oak Street since January of 2002. We plan to build a proper church there in the near future.

The Orthodox Church in America is the autocephalous ("self-headed") daughter church of the Orthodox Church of Russia. Russian missionaries first brought Orthodox Christianity to the Russian territories in Alaska in 1794. They provided the native peoples with writing and translated the Scriptures and services of the Church into their languages. To the rest of the U.S., Orthodox Christianity was a relative latecomer; only by the start of the twentieth century did Orthodoxy have a significant presence here, primarily through immigration from Orthodox lands. Largely confined to ethnic enclaves, Orthodoxy did not appear on the nation's religious radar. Now in the twenty-first century, the Orthodox Church has grown beyond its ethnic origins to become an indigenous and accesible witness to Apostolic Christianity for Americans of all backgrounds. Yet the Orthodox Church is still unfamiliar to many Americans.

If you have never been to an Orthodox service and know little or nothing about the Eastern Orthodox Church, do pay us a visit and get some first-hand knowledge for yourself. If you are an Orthodox Christian living in Denton County and do not regularly attend services elsewhere, we hope you will pay us a visit soon, as we are your local parish and have been planted here to serve you. Services are in English.
