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

Orthodox Christianity is the fullness of the Faith, as was taught by and revealed in Jesus Christ. And as the Faith it does not lack anything.
The Orthodox Christian Church is the ancient Church, founded by our Lord Jesus Christ, as described in the New Testament, upon the foundation of the Apostles, Himself being the chief Cornerstone, and enlivened by the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost.
As an Orthodox community, we strive to be the living example of this Faith, and to minister to all and any in Christ's Name.

Open to all who seek Christ!
​Come and see!
