Best Russian Orthodox Church Independence Near Me

Gerald Loechel: Attended a few liturgies in the old space and stupidly let worldly problems in life get in the way of continuing. Not even family should be put ahead of God as Matthew 10:37 tells us. Well suffice to say I disobeyed and that was not the right choice. God made that very clear. I will be there this week, God willing. If you want to get an idea of the spirit of this place check out The Royal Path on YouTube or Fr Turbo on one of many podcast appearances. That was God's way of providential tapping at my door once, twice, then too many times to not be directed personally to me as he seemingly just happened to appear as a guest on every podcast I was clinging to learning what little I could that without I fear I may have slipped away...

Jamie King: I spent a few days here with the priest, Father Turbo and had an amazing time. Great community of people that have built something very authentic out of their love for God. Lots of young families, beautiful singing in Liturgy.

Monica Van Zile: St. Mary's has been my home parish since 2017; I never left after my first visit. St. Mary's has quite literally changed my family's life. While we had previously attended another church that felt like family, the bond at St. Mary's was near instant.Repentance. Salvation. At the heart of the parish, Christ is primary. The world is left outside the doors. There is a peace that I had never experienced before.Finally, having accountability and a spiritual father who is wise beyond his years has impacted my daily life profoundly.

Keri McCloud: After much searching in the Kansas City area for two years to find an Orthodox Parish to call our spiritual home, my family and I found St Mary's of Egypt. Glory to God!!!

Well Building Connection, LLC A WBC Enterprise: A sacred place to receive spiritual fulfillment; knowledge, and refuge for the soul.

Adam Lockridge: Life changing

Thomas Eblen: Where the "Prayer of the Heart" took me while journeying, with others, as a pilgrim on my "road of happy destiny". I pray that "God bless us and keep us" as we return to Him to be one with Him!

William O: A wonderful Orthodox Church centrally located in Kansas City. An excellent place to grow spiritually. Very family friendly for service as well as afterwards during coffee hour. Divine Liturgy with Father Turbo is always a wonderful and thought provoking experience. All are welcome to attend.

Brian Whirledge: A wonderful, welcoming, loving, and active community.

Matthew Moore: Love my Eastern Orthodox Church! St Mary of Egypt has been influential in my quest to become fully human. Moving to our new location fulfills a dream I have had for some time now. I am very excited to see what our Lord has in store for us. By the Prayer of Saint Moses and all of the Saints may we flourish. Come join us!

Nick Finzer: A humble but wonderful Orthodox parish in the inner city, with a rather large congregation. Fr. Turbo is an incredible pastor and the people are pretty welcoming with a strong desire to follow Christ.

Simeon Moulton: It's a church. Do we need to review a church?

Richard Keeney: My Parish Family

Issa Heating Cooling Plumbing: A wonderful churchfilled with the Holy spirit.

Christian Andrew Moulton: Friendly community, worshipping in fairly traditional manner, very friendly for visitors. All English services. Priests are very friendly and good for asking questions about faith or personal growth issues. Strongly recommend this community for those wanting to worship and grow in a way consistent with early Christian teaching. All choir singing is a capella, with the full community encouraged to sing along when they know the music. There is a bookstore and lending library that help elaborate on the denomination's teachings. There is a regular cycle of weekly services, but there are also significant additions to this, depending on annual holidays, so there is plenty of opportunity for communal worship. The community also eats an informal meal on Sundays after morning worship. Various educational opportunities exist in most weeks.

My fiance and I were amazed at all the rainbow colors on the building of a religion that does not support equality in marriage. Either way... If they were affirming, it would be a perfect location for us to marry. Drive by anytime it is a SIGHT TO SEE!

Christopher Anderson: Came here for a Pokémon stop that was lured!

Steve Kort: Great place

Liz Whelan: Greek festival outstanding.

Telly Tomlinson: I have been going to this festival for 14 years straight! The entertainment and the music is always wonderful! For the 14 years when I purchase jewelry, (I buy something every single year, without fail). I've tried to ignore how insulting and humiliating I feel when I look at a piece of jewelry to purchase or contemplate on purchasing when the sales person takes the piece and holds it! Consequently, the other patrons gather their trinkets as they continue to browse! Why? I am not a thief!!!! perhaps it is the melanin in my skin? I think this may have been my last time attending this function. Not worth my blood pressure going up when this happens!
