WHO ARE WE?
Share the Faith Is a Pan-Orthodox Fund for Mission Priests in
North America
We are the only pan-Orthodox fund for missions reaching the United States and Canada.
Share the Faith is a non-profit, pan-Orthodox organization dedicated to leading people to Orthodoxy through raising monies to supplement Orthodox clergy who serve very small, needy, mission parishes in North America.
We Build Vibrant Mission Communities By Supporting Dedicated Mission Priests
Share the Faith connects the Orthodox faithful with mission Priests to transfigure local communities with the Uncreated Light of Christ in his Church. We enhance the Church’s presence in America by appreciating the dedication and accomplishments of our mission Priests, who are true heroes in our communities. We invite you to be a part of this vision and contribute to the transfiguration of our beloved nation.
We Address the American Mission Crisis
Share the Faith is driven by a deep understanding of the need within our Orthodox communities in America to fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our organization was founded to address a critical deficit in the current Orthodox efforts to advance the Gospel among our neighbors who are yet unaware of the Faith that established the Universe.
While many Orthodox missions serve local communities within America, Share the Faith stands out as the singular organization solely dedicated to uniting our American mission efforts, goals and vision.
Together We Can Share the Orthodox Faith in America
Thanks be to God for all things! Our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ is doing a wonderful work in the world today!
Come help us advance God’s Kingdom in the Earth! Christ’s healing touch is what we all need and He is more than able to accomplish this good work if we are willing to let Him into those places of our hearts. We have all felt the love of God in one way, shape, form or another in this indifferent world around us. So many need the healing touch of Jesus. So many don’t have in person access to the fullness of the Good News of Jesus Christ. We need to bring that to them in America.
This is where supporting local missional Orthodox Christian Priests and their Church Parishes and ministry projects come in. So many have no local Church Parish. So many missional Priests work unrealistic bivocational hours. We can relieve some of these burdens and give communities a local missional Church Parish and give missional Priests more time with their families and more time to minister to their congregations.

Our Mission
Mission Statement
Share the Faith is supporting Orthodox Christian missions to every corner of America, because everyone deserves the opportunity to bless, praise, and glorify God in the fullness of the authentic Christian Faith.
How We Accomplish Our Mission
- Remind and inform our Brothers & Sisters of our responsibility to, as Orthodox Christians, “go …” (Mt. 28:19, Lk. 14:23) to God’s people as Christ directs. Mt. 25: 31- 46: “Did you feed & clothe Me, visit Me in prison or when I was sick?”
- Keep always before our people the reality that each of us will give account to Him on judgement day as to how …we have lived: simply and with love for suffering mankind? Or frivolously, wasting days and dollars on things which don’t last?
- We mentor and educate the parish councils of mission parishes and those in need of revitalization on effective evangelism. To find out more about how we help our supported parishes, click here.
- We are thus, raising monies to make available sizable grants for vetted and worthy priests, with the blessings of their bishops, who are in need of financial assistance to fulfill the work of the Gospel (Mt. 25 & 28) in places where:
- New Missions are needed
- Existing Missions need to support to thrive
- Prisoners (including many on death row) are in need of Christ
- Lonely in nursing homes, in Hospice, at the local Mission Shelter can be comforted if not moved to consider converting if we prove …that we care
