Visiting clergy from the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) Serve Vespers on St. Thomas Sunday Evening
On April 19, 2026, we welcomed Fr. Christopher Foley of Holy Cross Church in Kernersville, N.C., for a Paschal service celebrating St. Thomas Sunday. Fr. Christopher was accompanied by Hieromonk Andrew from St. Nicholas Mission in Fayetteville, N.C. Nearly 50 people were in attendance and shared a meal afterward, which was followed by a thoughtful discussion on building a more-formal Orthodox presence in the Sandhills.

The Orthodox Christian Faith
Orthodox Christianity is the original Christian faith, founded by Jesus Christ and faithfully preserved by the Apostles and their successors for over 2,000 years. Through prayer, the sacraments, and holy tradition, the Orthodox Church offers a path to union with God just as it did from the beginning.
Saint Andrew the Apostle
As the patron saint of Scotland and the “First-Called” Apostle, Saint Andrew holds deep significance in the Orthodox Church. Since our group is based in Pinehurst, a town rooted in the game of golf, we are initially connecting our missionary efforts to Saint Andrew, whose legacy of faith, courage, and evangelism inspires our work. His feast day is celebrated on November 30th.
