The Orthodox Christian Church is the ancient Church, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Himself is the chief Cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20), and enlivened by the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. The mission of St John the Baptist Russian Orthodox Church is to proclaim and live out the Gospel of our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ, as it has been handed down to us since the apostolic times.
