GREETINGS IN THE ONENESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT---JOYFUL WELCOME

Our 28+ acre setting is located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.  The master plan includes an ancient Byzantine architecturally designed temple, a monastic community, spiritual retreat center, rectory, and cemetery.  We have been utilizing the 1800 square-foot house-church on the property since 1991 and are now completing the design and development phase of construction of the new church building with new construction to begin in the next few months.  The parish hall and rectory are under construction.  Our invitation to you is to "come and see" (John 1:39). 

Visit us and experience the love, mercy, and compassion of God through the teachings of Holy Scripture and the Sacred Tradition of the Orthodox Christian Faith.  The True Church established by Our Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles has been handed down to us unchanged from generation to generation.  When we encounter God's Revelation through His Son, The Logos, then worship services and sacred ceremonies become the channels of our salvation and for the healing of our sinfulness and brokenness.  As members of the "ecclesia", the Mystical Body of Christ, we become participators in the very life of the Trinity (2 Peter 1:4) Who dwells within us (1 Cor 3:16).  Come!  "The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand.  Repent, and believe in the Gospel" (Mark 1:15).
