As a dedicated servant of Christ I seek to use my God-given teaching, preaching and pastoral gifts to fulfill my calling to serve and comfort the people of God. I am very passionate and love to share our Orthodox faith, connect people with God and lead them to the Church – the ship of salvation. With God’s blessing and spiritual guidance of our Bishop Maxim I am always striving to build an environment within the parish community where the presence of God is perceptible through mutual love, compassion and grace. I use the best pastoral practices to draw the faithful to the Kingdom of God in order to grow the parish with special emphasis on the youth members, as our future.
