Welcome to the webpage of St John the Baptist Orthodox Christian Church.

The Orthodox Church is the ancient Christian Church, founded by our Lord Jesus Christ, as described in the New Testament. Its history can be traced back, in unbroken continuity, to Christ and His Twelve Apostles.
​
​Our parish is under the jurisdiction of Russian Orthodox Church. ​Originally founded by immigrants from Eastern Europe in the early 1900's, today we remain committed to living out the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and sharing His truth with our brothers and sisters in North America.

Open to all who seek Christ!
