Welcome to St. Moses

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are asking for your help to raise $50,000 toward completing the purchase of the building at 8279 Avocet Drive in Helena, Montana for St. Moses the Strong Orthodox Mission. Your support would help us bring this effort to completion and establish a permanent home for our parish.
 

For 25 years our mission has served the Helena community without a building of its own. We are grateful for the hospitality of Carroll College and St. Andrew Catholic School, which has allowed our community to gather for worship. Now we have an opportunity to put down lasting roots.
 

The Avocet property would give us a place for the Divine Liturgy and other services, catechumen instruction, church school, and parish fellowship. A home of our own would also help us welcome those who are discovering the Orthodox Christian faith and seeking a church community.

Would you prayerfully consider a gift toward our $50,000 goal? Gifts of every size will help. If you are able to make a larger contribution or share this appeal with someone who may wish to help, we would be deeply grateful.

Checks may be mailed to St. Moses the Strong Orthodox Mission, PO Box 7706, Helena, MT 59604. To give through Venmo, please use the link below. For questions about a gift or our plans for the mission, please contact me at frgeorgeoca@gmail.com.

Thank you for your prayers, generosity and care for our community.  May God bless you for helping us prepare a lasting home for Orhtodox worship and parish life in Helena.
 

With Gratitude in Christ,
Fr. George Khristich
St. Moses the Strong Orthodox Mission
 

Support St. Moses the Stong! 

Welcome! We are an active community of Orthodox Christians located in the colorful Queen City of the Rockies, Helena, Montana.  St. Moses Mission seeks to root and share the ancient Orthodox Christian Faith here in Montana’s State Capitol in accordance with the faithful Apostolic teachings and worship of the Holy Church.

 

We humbly seek to dedicate our lives to Christ our God through prayer, participation in the sacraments, education, fellowship, and through serving one another and our surrounding community.

We invite you to come, see, and hear for yourself! Our services are in English. While we do not yet have a full-time priest or church building of our own, priests serve the Divine Liturgy two weekends a month and blessed church readers lead Orthodox prayer services on other weekends.
 

While we usually meet on the campus of Carroll College, please see our Service Schedule page for times and locations of church services.  Our congregation of 20-30 is vibrant with children and adults of all ages.

 

Many of our parishioners have come from non-Orthodox backgrounds, and we
often have visitors. Please feel free to come and participate in our
worship and the fellowship that follows. We will be happy to see you.

St. Moses is a mission community in the Diocese of the West (dowoca.org)
of the Orthodox Church in America (oca.org).
