Our Faith

Lake Havasu Orthodox Church is a family friendly Church, we encourage children of all ages to participate in the worship services. Youth read the epistle lessons on Saturday and serve in the altar. The children are invited forward every Saturday after the Gospel lesson to participate in the children's sermon. Adults are encouraged to grow in faith and knowledge through participating in many different types of adult religious education programs like the "Faith & Fellowship" series.

The community is under the jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco and the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North America. In the United States, the Orthodox Church is administrated according to jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction is in communion with one another. The Assembly of Bishops has representatives from all jurisdictions. The Orthodox Church traces its history to the apostles. In 1054, the Pope of Rome split away from the Patriach of Constantinople. This is what is known as the Great Schism.
