The American Orthodox Catholic Church bears witness to the fullness of historic Orthodoxy, faithfully received from the Apostles, preserved by the Fathers, and lived responsibly within the cultural and pastoral reality of the United States.
Orthodoxy is not bound to empire, ethnicity, or geography. It is the life of Christ in His Church, offered to all nations and peoples. From its earliest presence on American soil, the Orthodox faith has taken root among families, communities, and clergy seeking the ancient faith lived fully in a new land.
The American Orthodox Catholic Church exists to safeguard this inheritance while serving the spiritual needs of the American people, without compromise to doctrine, sacrament, or apostolic order.
We do not innovate the faith.
We do not dilute the tradition.
We receive, protect, and hand on what has been given.
Rooted in the unbroken succession of bishops, the sacramental life of the Church, and fidelity to the teaching received from the Apostles.
Governed synodally in continuity with the Ecumenical Councils, rejecting unilateral authority and affirming the shared responsibility of the episcopate.
Serving real parishes, real families, and real communities within the American context, without sacrificing Orthodox integrity.
THE
The American Orthodox Catholic Church stands as a beacon of the ancient Christian faith in the modern world. We welcome all who seek to encounter the living God through the beauty of Orthodox worship, the wisdom of sacred tradition, and the warmth of genuine Christian fellowship.
