We pray that your visit to our website will be spiritually enriching
and that it will give you a glimpse of the timeless beauty
of the Orthodox Church as it has existed for almost two
thousand years.
This is the "Church of the Fathers," beginning with the Holy
Apostles of Jesus Christ and dating back to 33 A.D. at the
time of Pentecost. Today over 225 million Orthodox Christians
worldwide join the hundreds of millions from past centuries
who have worshiped and prayed together in Jerusalem,
Athens, Constantinople, Moscow, Antioch, Alexandria and
all their environs, passing on to successive generations the
precious flame of Christ’s love for His disciples.
St. Innocent Russian Orthodox Church is a small growing
parish founded in 1982 as a house church in Medford Oregon.
The small body of believers struggled for years without a priest,
though from time to time a priest, or priest-monk, would visit to
celebrate the Divine Liturgy. Fr. Seraphim Cardoza has been
the priest at St. Innocent since 1995.
St. Innocent, while remaining part of the Russian Church, is
no longer an ethnic parish in people or language. However,
even though our members are almost entirely American
converts, and all services are in English, St. Innocent strives to
maintain the traditional Orthodox ethos, and the ancient way
of life and worship.
