Our
Missions Ministry encompasses all our efforts
to reach beyond our parish community and help
others in the Charlotte area, as well as nationally
and internationally.
Parish volunteers work together to assist these
charitable efforts and organizations:
Local
Philanthropies
“Saturday-Sunday School” at
the Outreach Revival Church in West Charlotte—Volunteers
help by working at ORC special events.
At holidays we collect gift items and
treats to help make their holidays special.
Other ways we can help our Metro Charlotte
neighbors are identified on an as needed
basis.
Prison Ministry
Parishioners reach out to those in prison
through weekly Bible studies, one-on-one
counseling, and distribution of Bibles
and religious literature.
Loaves & Fishes
Parishioners donate non-perishable food
items year-round to help stock food pantries
throughout Mecklenburg County.
OCMC/IOCC
The Orthodox Christian Mission Center
and International Orthodox Christian Charities
are the international, educational, and
charitable organizations of the Orthodox
Church. Our parish supports these organizations
both monetarily and through volunteer
missionaries.

to provide food for local, national, and
international food pantries.

Innocent Orthodox Orphanage in Tijuana,
Mexico.

Orthodox Church and St. Sophia Orphanage

Support A Mission Priest Program

cost of $600 to support one indigenous
priest in extremely poor areas around
the world where their parishes can not
financially support them. |
