Our Mission
Our faith, worship, and community is a continuation of the 2,000-year-old Orthodox Church—the original Christian Church.
We exist to be a loving and healing shelter to all seeking the light of Christ by worshiping in spirit and truth, and loving our neighbor as ourselves.
God Himself came into the world as a man, Jesus Christ, that all men should be saved. Therefore, we welcome everyone to join us as we strive to become by Grace what our Lord Jesus Christ is by Nature.
We participate in the work of salvation by:
• Worshiping as a community and sharing the fullness of joy and truth of Christ.
• Uniting ourselves with Christ through prayer and the sacramental life.
• Expressing the love of Christ through philanthropy, fellowship, outreach, and hospitality.
• Educating people about the Truth and Tradition of the Orthodox Church.
• Offering the Love of Christ to those in need, both in prayer and deed.
• • We believe in Him, and strive to know Him and abide in Him, so that by grace we might receive from Him an eternal life of salvation. We actively participate in the sacramental and prayer life of the Orthodox Christian Church so that we may become Christ-like persons by His grace.

Read more About Orthodox Christian Church (of St. Jacob)
We warmly welcome you to join us in worship of the Holy Trinity. Whether you are an Orthodox Christian, or if this will be your first visit to an Orthodox Church, we are pleased to have you with us. St. Jacob parish is a community of believers from all walks of life seeking Salvation through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We practice discipleship as handed down by the Apostles and preserved in the Church from time of Pentecost. We welcome you to join us in our Liturgical Music as we sing the hymns that have been the mainstay for centuries. Our church is part of the Eastern Orthodox body of churches. The most conspicuous characteristics of Orthodoxy are the rich liturgical life and its faithfulness to the apostolic tradition. It is believed by Orthodox Christians that our Church has preserved the tradition and continuity of the ancient Church in its fullness, as compared to other Christian denominations which have departed from the common tradition of the Church of the first 10 centuries. The best way to learn more is to visit and worship with us. If you prefer, come to a class or meet with us over coffee to discover "America's best kept secret - Eastern Orthodox Christianity".

BELIEFS
Our Beliefs and Doctrine are summed up in the Nicene Creed, which is universally accepted by all Orthodox Churches the world over. In Brief:
We worship God in Trinity, glorifying equally the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; that He is truly God, of one essence with the Father and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Christ Incarnate is also truly man, like us in all respects except sin. And that He was crucified for us men and our salvation, was resurrected and ascended into Heaven, and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead. We worship the Holy Spirit as Lord and Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father. We believe in one holy catholic (universal) and apostolic Church; and one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We believe in the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
