Apostle James

The Son of Alphaeus

Kontakion — Tone 2

Let us bless James, praising him as the messenger of God, for he filled the souls of the pious with wise dogmas. Standing at the throne of glory before the Master, he rejoices with all the angels unceasingly praying for us all.

DISCOVER THE ANCIENT FAITH

A message from our parish priest, Fr. Mark Wallace.

A message from our parish priest,
Fr. Mark Wallace.

Welcome!
Christ is among us!

Founded in 2003, we are a vibrant parish dedicated to being a life-giving community of Orthodox Christian faith, worship, love, and service, proclaiming and protecting the Ancient Faith of Jesus Christ. Although we are a parish of The Antiochian Archdiocese, and our services are in English, we have embraced all who have come to us from the Romanian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Russian and Greek expressions of Holy Orthodoxy.

We have a strong commitment to welcome those who are new to the parish, to engage all members in spiritual growth through faith formation from the youngest to the oldest, and to celebrate our faith together through the Divine Liturgy. Our outreach to the students/faculty of Oklahoma State University is reflected in a growing membership of the Orthodox Christian Fellowship group on campus.

Please come worship with us to experience the spirit of St. James, and I invite you to become part of our parish community. May our good God bless you and your family with His richest blessings.

In Christ,

Fr. Mark Wallace, Parish Priest
