Welcome to Ss. Peter and Paul Antiochian Orthodox Mission.
We are a loving, warm, friendly, family oriented church. We have young to middle aged families that have children from a few months old to middle teens. Since Boone is the home of Appalachian State University we also have college students.
The world is changing and there are many uncertainties, especially in the Church. The Orthodox Church, for two thousand years, has preserved the truth as once delivered to the saints in worship and in doctrine. We are a certainty, a rock in uncertain times. We have always believed that nothing should be added to the Faith and nothing should be taken away from it. In addition to being faithful to preserving the Faith unchanged, we have preserved the lineage of our clergy. Our clergy have an unbroken, verifiable line back through the Apostles to Jesus Christ.
God is love. Therefore, the way to godliness is love. God loved us so much that he sent his Only Begotten Son to die for our sins upon the Cross that all who believe in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. They way to life is love of, and faith in, God in Christ and self-giving love for our neighbor.

It is our hope that all who visit us, here, will experience the life changing and transforming love of Christ our God. May the blessing of the Lord and his mercy come upon you, through his divine grace and love, always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.
