West Point Orthodox Christian Chapel
An Orthodox Christian Online Outreach Site
The Mission
The purpose of this site is to share the 2,000 year old witness of Orthodox Christianity with West Point, Virginia and the surrounding area. This faith was established by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His Apostles in the first century and continues in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
The Church of Antioch dates back to the Acts of the Apostles (11:26, 13:1). There are parishes under this ancient Orthodox jurisdiction around the world, including Saint Basil the Great in Hampton, VA
