RESOURCES FOR INQUIRERS
If you are inquiring about the Orthodox Christian faith, please reach out to Fr. Nektarios for resources.Our faith is focused on our worship and participation in the Church, the Body of Christ, and in cultivating our communion with God.
We can provide you with a prayer book to guide you in daily prayers, as well as a book and online resources that explain the Orthodox Christian faith and life.
Fr. Nektarios is also available to meet with you by phone, Zoom or in person to offer guidance as you follow God's guidance and seek your spiritual home in the Orthodox Church.

ONLINE CATECHISM CLASS
Our next class will be on Thursday, February 29, at 7:00 pm.
Our focus between now and Holy Pascha (Easter) will be the book The Orthodox Faith, Worship, and Life. Most should have a copy of this book, as we used this same text in 2021, and it has been distributed to many of our catechumens and inquirers. If you do not have a copy, please let Father Nektarios know.
This book is very rich and substantive in its focus on the basic beliefs and practices of our faith. It is also a book that emphasizes worship and prayer as essential to living and learning our faith.
Our weekly sessions will be on Zoom at the link below. They will also be available livestream on our Assumption Facebook page, as well as on the YouTube Channel for St. Stephen Mission at https://www.youtube.com/@st.stephenorthodoxmission8116/streams
The sessions will also be archived at the same YouTube link in case you miss a session or would like to go back and listen to a specific week or topic.
