We have established a Eucharistic community to bring the fullness of the ancient Orthodox Christian Faith to Central Oregon.
The Mission comprises Orthodox Christians from many different backgrounds, from other Christian faith traditions and denominations and some non-Christian religious and spiritual traditions, who are working together to live and share the ancient Orthodox Christian Faith.
We see Eastern Orthodox Christianity as a distinct and ancient faith that speaks to the questions and desires of people down through the ages to today.
We are now at our larger place of worship in Tumalo that will expand the footprint of Orthodoxy in Central Oregon. Our address is:
19879 8th Street
Bend, OR 97703
These Saints were from Italy and contested for the Faith about the year 126, during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian. Faith was twelve years old, Hope, ten, and Love, nine; each was tormented and then beheaded, from the eldest to the youngest. Their mother Sophia mourned at their grave for three days, where she also fell asleep in peace; because of her courageous endurance in the face of her daughters' sufferings, she is also counted a martyr. The name Sophia means "wisdom" in Greek; as for her daughters' names, Faith, Hope, and Love (Charity), they are Pistis, Elpis, and Agape in Greek, and Vera, Nadezhda, and Lyubov in Russian.
Faith, Hope, and Charity (Love) are the names of the Three Sisters Mountains to our West.
