Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord
Welcome to Archangel Gabriel, an Orthodox Christian community committed to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout southern Oregon. Our parish is first and foremost a place where people come to worship the living God and receive His life giving Grace through the Sacraments of the Church. We are a thriving faith community with people of all ages and backgrounds who are working out their salvation together and striving to live in accordance with the commandments of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Located near Ashland, OR, our community extends from Mount Shasta to Grants Pass and even Williams to Klamath Falls.
Many of our congregants journeyed to the Orthodox Church from other Christian faith traditions and denominations and some non-Christian religious and spiritual traditions. Whether you are “on a journey” or just wanting to visit a local Orthodox parish, you welcome at Archangel Gabriel. We are always honored to have visitors join us for prayer and worship.
If you have any questions before your first visit, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Archangel Gabriel is a parish in the Diocese of the West of the Orthodox Church in America.
