Orthodox Christianity - the ancient Christian faith in the contemporary world
Orthodox, but not Jewish. Catholic, but not Roman. Evangelical, but not Protestant.
It's not non-denominational. It's pre-denominational!
In the last one hundred years, over 60 million Christians were martyred for their faith in Jesus Christ.
Over 99% of them were Orthodox Christians!
Even today, Orthodox Christians make up a full third of all Christians on earth. Even in America, we outnumber Episcopalians three to one. Want to know more? Ever wonder what the early Church was really like?

Top Ten Reasons To Become Orthodox
- It's not the best choice, IT'S THE ONLY CHOICE.
- You understand that worship is not a concert, a Christian variety show, a lecture, or a comedy routine.
- You are tired of trying to save your church, and you have finally realized that your church must save you.
- Majesty means more than speaking loud and slow.
- You believe that our Lord Jesus Christ actually meant what He said, and the apostles, likewise, gave instructions to be followed.
- You know that your principle battle in life is against the passions, and the spirits which tempt you through them.
- You understand that the Incarnation of Christ means that matter itself can be made sanctified and holy, and become a vehicle for God's grace.
- You believe that the Word did not become a book. He became "flesh."
- You believe that the Church is, indeed, the "pillar and bulwark of the Truth" just like St. Paul.
- You know that when Christ returns, He is coming back for His Bride...not His harem. There is one Church, and this is it.
