Our church is a sacramental church based on the seven sacraments: Baptism, Chrismation, Eucharist, Confession and Repentance, Priesthood, Marriage, Unction of the Sick. We believe God is a Trinity of one God in three Persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They are equal in divinity, perfection, greatness, power, and glory. Salvation cannot be acquired except through faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ. Living faith can only be demonstrated by good works. The core beliefs of the Orthodox Church date back to the inception of Christianity by Christ Himself. These beliefs are best summarized by the Nicene Creed.
