Building Fund

With God's help, St. Maximus Orthodox Church desires to build a temple traditionally designed to serve as a house of prayer, a place set apart for the worship of the living God. To our knowledge, this will be the first temple built in honor of St. Maximus anywhere in the Americas.

“The Orthodox Christian Church is evangelical, but not Protestant.
It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman.
It is not denominational, it is pre-denominational.
It has believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for the
Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost nearly 2,000 years ago.”
– Our Life in Christ

Orthodox Visitors

If you are a member of another Orthodox parish planning to visit St. Maximus, we look forward to meeting you. Please call or email the priest ahead of time to let him know that you are coming, especially if you desire to receive Holy Communion at (940) 293-3032 or StMaximus@protonmail.com.

If you are not an Orthodox Christian, welcome! Though we may not offer you the Eucharist or any of the Sacraments, you are otherwise welcome to participate in our worship and activities.

Orthodox Christians desiring to make a confession should look at the monthly calendar [link] and the weekly bulletin [link] to see when confessions are scheduled. When confession is scheduled, just show up at the service and wait in the church after the service--there is no need to call ahead. If the scheduled times do not work for you, then email (StMaximus@protonmail.com) or call or text the priest (940 293-3032) to schedule a time--but please check the scheduled times first.

Holy Communion in the Orthodox Church is open only to Orthodox Christians who have prepared themselves with prayer, fasting, and a recent confession (within the past month or so). If you are not certain whether you should approach the chalice, please call the priest. If you are visiting from another parish and wish to receive Holy Communion, please let the priest know of your visit ahead of time if possible (940) 293-3032 or StMaximus@protonmail.com.
