THE EOC NO LONGER HAS CHURCHES IN AFRICA.

The Evangelical Orthodox Church is very happy to have laboured and planted many seeds in East Africa and raised up many mission parishes there, beginning in Rwanda in 2008. However, over the course of the past 16 years, those efforts multiplied to over 200 parishes in Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, and the DRC, far beyond anything that we can care for thoroughly with integrity. Therefore, after much prayer and conversation, as of August 1, 2024, we are releasing those leaders and faith communities from the EOC and making way for them to be connected to a larger communion of churches with much greater resources who can water what was planted and hopefully bring forth a great harvest. We pray for their ongoing maturity in grace, and we continue to make available microeconomic money to those who maintain godly values and who provide reports and receipts for any money receive and spent. Again, to summarize, no Africa churches are now affiliated with the Evangelical Orthodox Church. We retain, of course our vibrant churches in Canada, the United States, and Sweden, and we will continue to work at establishing new parishes in those countries. To our brothers and sisters in former EOC African parishes, thank you for your love and reception of us over the past years. May God richly bless you and guide you as you venture on a new path, and may He take you further up and deeper into the orthodox Christian faith.
