Sts. Simon & Jude Eastern Orthodox Church
Compassionate Christianity In America's Heartland
An English-speaking, open-minded parish in the canonical tradition of Eastern Orthodoxy


Welcome To Our Parish !

Much of Christianity, which has dominated Western civilization, is often lacking the original worship forms that provide some of the mystical and spiritual needs of our times.
 
Every time we connect with one another in a positive and loving way, whether by a smile, by a hug or by conversation, we raise the spark of divinity within ourselves.
 
Through our acts of divine love in charity and prayer we not only serve each other, but through worship we also manifest God in our midst. We minister to all of God's creation through our belief in healing and reconciliation.

We reflect the love of God to those around us, regardless of class, creed, race, walk of life.
(John 13:35; 1 Cor 13; Galatians 3:28)
 
We reconcile Eastern and Western Christianity by commending the complementary traditions and commonalities of each other.

(1 Corinthians 12; John 17:6-26; Philippians 4:8)
 
We strengthen and encourage the existence and growth of community.

(Ephesians 2:19 - 22; 1 Corinthians 12:12–14; Acts 2:42-47)
 
We teach and practice the Orthodox Christian faith as handed down by the Holy Church throughout the ages.

(Jude 1:3; Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
 
We are a place of peace, healing and reconciliation.

(2 Corinthians 13:11; Psalm 69:30; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17; James 5:13–16)
