About Saint Philip Greek Orthodox Church

The Greek Orthodox Church is part of the Eastern Orthodox tradition, one of Christianity's three major branches alongside Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. Orthodox churches emphasize apostolic succession, sacramental life, and liturgical worship rooted in early Christian practice. Visitors to an Orthodox church will encounter rich Byzantine traditions, including iconic religious imagery, liturgical chanting, and a worship service that typically follows the Divine Liturgy format. The Orthodox faith places significant importance on the Seven Ecumenical Councils and the role of the Holy Tradition alongside Scripture.

The community welcomes those interested in learning about Orthodox Christianity and experiencing its distinct worship practices and theological perspective.
