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!
