“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”

As we have worked to build Saint Spyridon’s Church, especially since getting our building in April of this year, we have appreciated the visitors, the good-will, and especially the prayers of our fellow Orthodox Christians from other parishes. As word gets out about our church, we are receiving more visitors each week. Looking to the future growth of this parish, we have set a goal of raising $500,000 to be used toward a new Church building, and we need your help to reach this goal.

Realistically, it will cost $1.3 -1.5 million regardless of whether we build or buy, and we want to be ready for whatever opportunity God sets before us. Your donations can make the difference between something slipping through our fingers, and us having a firm hold on the future.

You can also help us by sharing this appeal with any kind and generous people that you know in real life and online. If possible, share why you think this is a cause worthy of their support.

As always, we ask that you keep us in your prayers.

In Christ,

Priest Matthew

P.S. We are a verified 501(c)3 non-profit organization, which provides more options (like Donor Advised Funds) for you to give, and you will receive a donation receipt for tax purposes.

Help St. Spyridon Orthodox Church obtain a permanent home in Nampa, Idaho. We need to raise $500,000 to make our goal of $1.3million.

Homily from last Sunday

In the gospel this morning, a demoniac was brought to the Lord. The demon that the Lord drove out by His word had withstood the efforts of His disciples to cast him out. The Lord shows His exasperation with the faithless and perverse generation, and the unbelief of His own disciples. “If you have ...

Homily from this past Sunday. I've also finally caught up on posting previous weeks' homilies.

On this day, the Church remembers the Holy Prophet Elijah who lived roughly 900 years before the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ at a time when the people of the Northern Kingdom of Israel were being led astray from the worship of the true God by King Ahab and his foreign wife, Jezebel. Saint Epiphan...
