Our Adult Orthodox Christian Education Classes are taught by Rev. Fr. Christopher T. Metropulos, Rev. Fr. John N. Codis, and Joseph Olas. These classes are offered between the Orthros service and the Divine Liturgy 10:00 am to 10:20 am. They are broken up by semesters throughout the academic year. Each semester is constituted of a theme and the corresponding classes adhere to that theme as well as all the educational programs our community has to offer.
