Capital Campaign

September 2022 Update

Through the commitments of parishioners and friends, the Mother of God Joy of All Who Sorrow Orthodox Parish purchased 8.5 acres on Cherry Hill Road and completed our church building in January 2016. Many donors and volunteers outside our small parish helped to achieve this substantial progress. 

The new temple reflects the style of a village Orthodox Church in Alaska or the Aleutian Islands, in recognition that the Orthodox Faith came to America through the Russian Orthodox mission to Alaska in the late eighteenth century. 

Future Plans:


Creating Fellowship Space and Enhancing the Temple

Now that we have reached a significant milestone, we are beginning to plan for the future, by creating fellowship space and enhancing the temple. More information will be provided on these plans as they become available.
