The Orthodox Community of the Holy Spirit Canada UAOC – is a mission-oriented Orthodox Christian Church – is theologically traditionalist, upholding the inspiration of Scripture, the teachings of the Church Fathers, the theological determinations of the Seven Ecumenical Councils (best summarized in the unadultered Nicene Creed) and the spirit of the Holy Canons as interpreted for local usage.
What we believe is expressed through the Sacramental life of the Church in worship and prayer, reflecting the various & devout spiritual customs of the Orthodox Christian faithful we serve, following the established traditions of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. Each of our Parish Churches or Missions celebrate according to the Old Style (Julian) Calendar or New Style (Gregorian) Calendar (based on need) and we are governed according to “Subornopravnist” or “Council Ruled” model. Reflecting the fulness of the Holy, Catholic & Apostolic Orthodox faith, we have both Eastern and Western Rite ministries.
