Saint Brendan the Navigator Orthodox Church is part of the Diocese of The West of the Orthodox Church in America that is presided over by the Right Reverand Vasily, Bishop of San Francisco and the West. Our mission is to offer True Worship and the Holy Mysteries, that is, the Body and Blood of Christ, to serve those in need, to teach the faithful and the lost, and to knit all into the body of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.

More Information >

The Holy Scripture is a collection of books written over multiple centuries by those inspired by God to do so. It is the primary witness to the Orthodox Christian faith, within Holy Tradition and often described as its highest point. It was written by the prophets and apostles in human language, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and collected, edited, and canonized by the Church.

Daily Readings >

Salvation in the Orthodox understanding is theosis, union with God's energies (not His Divine Essence) through which He participates in creation. This sanctification is a work of grace through the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The saints, the cloud of witnesses are those gone before us that have been given the grace of holiness or sainthood. The saints are both our examples and also our intercessors in prayer.
