About Us
September is "fellowship of St. John the Divine Month"
Living the Orthodox faith in Christ through:
Worship Witness Service Fellowship
NAC Fellowship of St. John the Divine
Mission Statement:
To develop and coordinate ministry programs whose scope extends
beyond the capacities of a single diocese.
Vision:
To gather the leaders and delegates from the diocesan level of the
Fellowship to promote God-pleasing worship in our churches, to
encourage evangelical witness on the part of our dioceses and
parishes, to selflessly serve God and our brothers and sisters, and to
enjoy together the fellowship of Divine Love.
Purpose:
The chosen and appointed diocesan representatives who constitute
the North American Council (NAC) intend to inspire and motivate
the dioceses, parishes and people we serve, to carry out the works of
the Church today and to raise up excellent leaders for her future.
From 1993 till TODAY!
“Parish Ministry Team (PMT) is a group of
volunteers within a parish that is
dedicated to serving Christ by assisting
the pastor in ministering to the needs of
the parish and larger community.”
