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.
