St John Orthodox Church

St. John the Baptist is an Orthodox Christian church of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America. We are located in Beaverton, Oregon (Portland westside). Most of what we upload are the weekly Sunday homilies, mainly offered by Fr. Theodore Dorrance and Fr. Timothy Pavlatos. Each recording begins with intonations of the appointed Epistle and Gospel readings. We cite the Gospel reading in the sermon title, as this is the passage on which the sermon is usually based. We trust that you will find these homilies spiritually enriching, and bring you closer to Christ and His Church. Visitors are very welcome. We hope you will stop by to worship and fellowship with us!
