St. Andrew's Orthodox Christian Church

"The Orthodox Church is evangelical, but not Protestant. It’s orthodox, but not Jewish. It’s catholic, but not Roman. It isn’t non-denominational – it’s pre-denominational. It has believed, taught, preserved, defended and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the day of Pentecost 2000 years ago."

Welcome to St. Andrew's Orthodox Christian Church!

St. Andrew's Orthodox Church is located in the lovely little town of Ashland, Virginia. We are a parish that endeavors to continue "steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers," (Acts 2:42) so that we may "contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints." (Jude 1:3) Our parish consists of people of various ethnicities, diverse age groups, and multiple religous backrounds. Whether you are just passing through town or looking for a new "church home," we would love to have you as our guest at St. Andrews. After Divine Liturgy on Sunday please feel free to join us for coffee hour and fellowship. If you have any questions regarding the Orthodox Faith or our parish, please feel free to contact me.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Ian Shipley
