Our catechumens are those committed to joining the Orthodox Church, who will be learning and attending services, becoming integrated into the community before formally being received into the Church by Holy Baptism and/or Chrismation.
Our Becoming Orthodox course is essential for catechumens, but is open to everyone. If you think you'd like to attend, please join us Fridays at 7:00 p.m. (see attached flyer for specific dates).
Sacred Alaska is an award-winning documentary that offers an intimate look into Native Alaskan culture and spirituality. It showcases the profound influence of Orthodox Christianity, introduced by Russian monks in the late 18th century, on Alaskan society. The film highlights the unique way Alaskans have woven their indigenous beliefs with Orthodox traditions, deeply influencing their worldview. Central to this is the concept of learning to become a "real person". Through beautiful cinematography and powerful storytelling, Sacred Alaska underscores the profound, sacred bond between the Alaskan people, their faith, and the formidable landscape they call home.
Join us for a special screening of Sacred Alaska at Cinemark Bistro, Charlotte on October 15th at 7:00 p.m.
Proceeds will be benefiting the new St. Sophia Orthodox School here in Charlotte.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Seating is first-come, first-served, and ticket possession does NOT guarantee seating.
For any additional questions or inquiries, please contact Philip Robertson, of our Orthodox Film Club.

On our Christian Calling
“Christians, have we understood the great responsibility we have taken on before God, through Holy Baptism? Have we come to know that we must conduct ourselves as children of God? That we must align our will with the will of God? That we must remain free from sin? That we must love God with all our hearts, and always patiently await union with Him? Have we thought about the fact that our heart should be so filled with love that it should overflow to our neighbor? Do we sense that we must become holy and perfect, children of God and heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven? We must struggle for this, so that we may not be shown unworthy and rejected. Let none of us lose our boldness, nor neglect our duties, nor be afraid of the difficulties of spiritual struggle. For we have God as a helper, who strengthens us in the difficult path of virtue.”
