What a difference a few months can make! We have so much to share! From the finishing touches inside our church to the transformation taking place outside, our new church home is coming together in ways that are becoming more beautiful by the day. But first, we have some especially exciting news. Our new front entrance is officially opening this Sunday, October 18th! And the timing couldn't be more fitting! Sunday marks the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist, who reminds us thr

They say it takes a village. In our case, it took an entire parish family, a whole lot of determination, and 180 chairs! Back in June, we "flipped" out of our church to make way for the next phase of construction. What followed were months of progress, patience, and anticipation as our beloved church home underwent its transformation. And now, after all that time, we've officially "flopped" back in! But returning to our Nave was no small undertaking. Over the course of severa

The church is really starting to come into focus. Over the past couple of weeks, crews have been moving through the final details from painting to shaping the spaces. It’s amazing how much these finishing touches change the feel of the whole place! Outside, the new paint pulls everything together. Walking around the building, you can finally picture what it will look like once the landscaping goes in and the construction tape disappears. How beautiful is the stone work with t

As summer wraps up and kids head back to school, our own “new year” is approaching too with the Ecclesiastical New Year on September 1. It’s a fitting moment, because the building project has officially passed 75% completion, and you can really see the finish line starting to come into view! Inside the church, sheet rocking is nearly done. The walls and arches are defined, and the space finally looks like the church we’ve been imagining instead of a construction shell. Bathro

Our Dome was set in place today! Nick Strauss captured it perfectly when he shared the photo he captioned it with the phrase “So Much Orthodoxy.” He’s right. Orthodox churches traditionally include a dome in their architecture. Our previous building did not have a dome as it wasn't originally built for an Orthodox parish. In our tradition, the dome represents heaven, typically written with Christ Pantocrator at its center, looking down upon His Church. It’s why people instinc

This week’s work brought several encouraging milestones. With the roof finished, crews have been able to move quickly on interior spaces in the classroom wing and of course continue work in the main church and entry. The bathrooms are moving from rough‑in to recognizable form. Flooring has been laid and tile installation has begun. Hallways show active progress, ceiling work continuing overhead, and natural light filling the corridor. This area is quickly shifting from constr

This week brought steady, visible progress across several areas of the church project, with crews working on roofing, exterior siding, and continued Dome development. Interior rebuilding moved forward in the Church following recent demolition, with framing and layout updates taking shape in the classroom area. Work also continued at the entrance, where crews are preparing the new access path and completing structural adjustments for upcoming phases. Siding installation advanc

You will not believe the progress we’ve made in just two weeks! We are officially in Phase 2, and you can see the momentum in every single photo. The hall is so close to being finished. The floors are in, the walls are done, and the natural light is incredible. It already feels like a space our community will fill with laughter, conversation, and celebration. I can picture the tables set up and everyone gathered together. We are getting closer and closer to that moment! Over
