We are committed to proclaim the Gospel to those who have not heard it, to do charity work to those who are in need regardless of: background, age, disability, gender, race, religion and belief and to foster according to Gospel values; peace, justice and the integrity of the creation worldwide, to defend the human rights of every individual and to work for unity between all Orthodox churches.
Our Mission is to be able to answer and deal with the following concerns: How we are spreading the Gospel? How do we deal with Poverty, Homeless Issues, Refugees, Food Banks etc…How does the modern culture of acceleration affect Orthodox Christianity in our time? Can or should Orthodoxy follow this rhythm of life, even if this is the modern path to transmit its own message? Can this happen without having an impact on the “eternal” nature of the sacred? What is at stake here? Is the relationship between the Orthodox Church and the present social order and its response to the ever-increasing calls for change? Without ignoring the differences between the various theological currents of Orthodoxy, is the Orthodox Church delivering its message to society with all the challenges that this age is facing?
With the Great Commission: "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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. "Our Vision: That all people may come to know the saving love of our Lord: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. How are we managing this calling?
