Holy Theophany Orthodox Mission - first Sunday of every month, at 6575 Oakwood Blvd.

How truly significant it was that on the feast day of our great 'Apostle to America', St Innocent of Alaska, the very first liturgy was served on the eastside of Colorado Springs in the hopes of planting a new Orthodox Mission Church to the Glory of God.

Fr Anthony reflected in his homily how out of love for God and and for the native Alaskans, St Innocent went to the far reaches of the barren and remote lands of Alaska when no one else was willing. He not only loved these people, but he met them where they were at and fanned the spark of Christ that had already begun to burn within their hearts. His sacrificial efforts and love are the foundation for which we hope to see many more Orthodox Churches grow here in our quickly growing city of Colorado Springs.

Approximately 90 parishioners gathered for this first liturgy representing largely this demographic section of our parish community that lives in this area. While this is a beginning and will take great missionary and sacrificial efforts on behalf of our Orthodox community, we pray that just like St Innocent's willingness and love to simply go and serve, his inspiration and prayers will guide us all as we take the 'next steps' toward seeing this need and desire of our community become a reality.

Pray unto God for us O Holy St Innocent of Alaska!

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
