Ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. (Jer. 6:16)
Hello and Greetings in the Lord.
I’m Father Alexander Vallens, priest and rector of St. Tikhon Orthodox Christian Mission. We are a parish of the Orthodox Church in America. The Orthodox Church is the original, ancient Christian church founded by Christ at Pentecost, and continued by His apostles. It has been in unbroken existence for 2000 years. Throughout its history, Orthodox Christianity (sometimes called Eastern Orthodoxy) has remained faithful to the teachings and practices of the Apostles and the Early Church Fathers.
The beauty of Orthodox worship must be experienced to be appreciated, so I invite you to visit us. Please feel free to come as you are. We’re a diverse community – young, old, individuals, families, of various backgrounds, with many converts. You’re very welcome, regardless of your familiarity with the Church. Feel free to reach out to me by phone or email with any questions or concerns. You can also check out our Facebook site to get a better feel for the community. We are located in Parker, Colorado (metro Denver) but welcome visitors from anywhere.
This website lists upcoming services and a calendar for the month. Newcomers often find our Saturday evening services (Great Vespers) the easiest to follow, but you can attend any of our services.
I hope to see you here soon!

“Faith, indeed is of two kinds. Thus, ‘Faith cometh by hearing, (Rom. 10:17) for, when we hear the sacred Scriptures, we believe in the teaching of the Holy Spirit. And this faith is made perfect by all those things which Christ has ordained; it believes truly, it is devout, and it keeps the commandments of Him who has renewed us. For he who does not believe in accordance with the tradition of the Catholic Church or who through untoward works holds communion with the Devil is without faith. Then again, there is a faith ‘which is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.’ (Heb. 11:1) This is an undoubting and unquestioning hope both for the things promised us by God and for the success of our petitions. The first kind of faith comes from our faculty of judgment, whereas the second is one of the gifts of the Spirit.” – St. John of Damascus
