Welcome
Holy Archangels is a growing Orthodox Christian community founded in January 2011 in historic Annapolis, Md. We are committed to proclaiming and living the Orthodox Faith “once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3), the timeless truth of Jesus Christ and life in Him.
Our Mission is a family-oriented church, a place of continued growth and healing in Christ for those already Orthodox and a welcoming home for those “storm-tossed” by the world and seeking healing and the fullness of the life in Christ for everyone. As we live out our faith, we believe in the Church’s ministry to serve “in the world” but not be “of the world.”
