Greetings!

On behalf of our entire Holy Assumption parish community I'd like to personally welcome you to the website of Holy Assumption Orthodox Church in Canton OH. 

First, we should mention that we welcome visitors at all times!  We love people because Jesus does, and He is the Lord of our parish! 

Our parish is a blending of all typical Orthodox ethnic backgrounds as well as many converts from a variety of backgrounds. Because our ministry is to Americans, all of our worship is in English. We are truly American and truly Orthodox! 

We are big enough to offer a variety of ministries --with more being developed -- to allow you to use your gifts and talents to the glory of God. And yet our parish is small enough to be warm and personal with many opportunities for fellowship.

While we believe strongly in the importance of ministry and fellowship we find that people don't become members here merely for our parish programs or our social events.

What we believe they find here is:

• Serious Christian worship -- rooted in the mercy and majesty of God...

• Authentic unchanging teaching -- rooted in the Apostolic deposit of faith.

• The Church - the Orthodox Church has a continuous, unbroken history going right back to Jesus and the Apostles.

• The opportunity -- to grow closer to God and express your love for him through active discipleship and service - helping others.

Please join us on Sunday morning at 9:30 AM for Divine Liturgy and for Great Vespers on Saturday evening at 5:00 PM. Click here or phone Fr Stacey for midweek and Feast day service times. For directions to the church click here--or just call us at 330-455-9146, or Fr Stacey at 330-754-6068.  To listen to recent sermons click here. 

In Christ,

Fr. Stacey Richter

Pastor
