Welcome to All Saints of North America Church!
Welcome Visitors!
May God bless you and direct your steps in discovering the Ancient Christian Church. We look forward to seeing you in our midst soon! The Orthodox Church is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman. It isn't non-denominational - it is pre-denominational. It has believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost 2000 years ago.
COME AND SEE!
While all our services are in English and most of our parishioners are American converts to Orthodoxy, we do have parishioners from other countries that speak other languages and others that can speak in sign language if you are hearing impaired!
These parishioners are available to assist you!
We would be pleased to receive your tax-deductible donation.
GLORY TO GOD!
The construction of our church is complete! Our focus is now on the beautification of our church.
Thank you for your prayers & support!

Antipascha: Saint Thomas Sunday - from the Orthodox Faith by Protopresbyter Thomas Hopko
— commemorated on April 19th
The Sunday after Easter, called the Second Sunday, is thus the eighth day of the paschal celebration, the last day of Bright Week. It is therefore called the Antipascha, and it was only on this day in the early church that the newly-baptized Christians removed their robes and entered once again into the life of this world. In the Church services the stress is on the Apostle Thomas’ vision of Christ and the significance of the day comes to us in the words of the gospel: Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see My hands; and put out your hand, and place it in My side; do not be faithless, but believing.” Thomas answered Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen Me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe” (Jn 20.27–29). We have not seen Christ with our physical eyes nor touched His risen body with our physical hands, yet in the Holy Spirit we have seen and touched and tasted the Word of Life (1 Jn 1.1–4), and so we believe.
TROPARION — From the sealed tomb, You did shine forth O Life! Through closed doors You did come to Your disciples, O Christ God! Renew in us, through them, an upright spirit, by the greatness of Your mercy, O Resurrection of all!
KONTAKION — Thomas touched Your life-giving side with an eager hand, O Christ God, when You did come to Your apostles through closed doors. He cried out with all: You are my Lord and my God!
