AboutOrthodoxy

ParishMissionStatement

We desire to express the Orthodox faith through the worship of the Holy Trinity in the Eucharist and in the Sacramental LIfe of the church. As an intentional Orthodox community, we place our hope in the Resurrection. We desire to bear one another's burdens in the knowledge that God will transform us through our present sufferings into His image and likeness. Therefore, having experienced God's love, we desire to intentionally manifest this love to others through acceptance, compassion, benevolence, and hospitality, for the life of the world.

My Vision for St. John the Forerunner Orthodox Church

St John the Forerunner Orthodox Church is a Eucharistic, dynamic, growing force for Orthodox Christianity in Indianapolis, the Midwest, and the world.

We are an intergenerational community whose lives are being transformed by Grace and Beauty through our worship of the Blessed Holy Trinity; our Love for each other through authentic and joyful fellowship and accountability; and Communion with The Truth through study, discipleship and outreach.

We are faithful stewards of the ample resources of time, giftedness, and money given to us by our Heavenly Father by being mindful of the legacy of our past; by being awake to the opportunity offered to us in the present moment; and the possibility of realizing the hopes and dreams promised to us by God’s Providential Guidance for the future.

 -Fr Joseph Gibson
