In 1794 Russian Orthodox Missionaries came to work among the native people in Alaska, a territory that later became part of the United States. Over the centuries, Orthodox Christianity has spread throughout the American continent.
Saint Innocent Church in Carol Stream, IL is part of this historic continuity. From the first century A.D. up to today, the Orthodox faith is given inviolate and lived according to the ancient canons of the early Church. It is the primary mission of St. Innocent of Moscow Russian Orthodox Church to bring the Gospel and services of the Russian Orthodox Church to the people of America in the English language. We welcome you to our church community.
