holy scripture
Holy Scripture. It is the name that Christians give to canonical books of the Old and New Testament inspired by the Holy Spirit. They have also simply been called Scripture , and, most characteristically, as is said, the Bible,
Biblia , the Books .
Ministry
It means that we “do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith” (Galatians 6:10). Whether we are bankers or bricklayers, it means that we aim at advancing other people’s faith and holiness to the
glory of God. Fulfilling your ministry is more important than staying alive.
Education
Christians ranked as the second most educated religious group around in the world with an average of 9.3 years of schooling. Christians were found to have the second highest number of graduate and post-graduate degrees per capita
while in absolute numbers ranked in the first place (220 million).
Our Team
Teamwork is the sacred ability to labor together toward a common vision in Christ.
It is the grace-filled discipline of directing individual gifts, callings, and accomplishments toward the one mission of the Church.
In the Orthodox way, teamwork is not competition—but communion;
not self-promotion—but obedient service;
not many voices in disorder—but one body in harmony.
It is the holy fuel that enables common people, united in faith, humility, and obedience, to attain uncommon results for the glory of God.
“For we are God’s fellow workers.”
— 1 Corinthians 3:9
One Lord. One Faith. One Mission.
One Lord. One Faith. One Mission.
