Sisters Olga and Elena from the Convent of St. Elizabeth, Minsk, Belarus, will be visiting our church on the weekend of July 25-26.  They will offer an exposition of handiwork from the monastery, as well as their own personal life and work at the convent.  Click on the icon of St. Elizabeth for a poster they created for their visit.  Visitors are welcome to join us for the Divine Liturgy and to visit with the nuns during coffee hour and to experience their exposition of handiwork.

St. Cyprian of Carthage Orthodox Church, located in the city of Richmond, Virginia, is a mission of the Diocese of the South, a territorial unit of the Orthodox Church in America, which is the local autocephalous Orthodox Church of this continent, belonging to the world-wide federation of Orthodox Churches. 

Our purpose is to gather together for worship and adoration of the Holy Trinity through the services of our liturgical tradition.  We also seek to grow in spiritual maturity through the study of Holy Scripture, as well as through instruction in the faith that was received by the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ and handed down from one generation to another until our own (Holy Tradition).  By so doing, we seek to offer Orthodox Christianity to Central Virginia in the English language.

We began to gather in our newly constructed temple in August 2008 and continue to work on interior features before a grealy anticipated consecration of the Altar and building.

We hope you find our website helpful and that you will come to visit and worship with us sometime soon. 

Come and See!

-John 4:29

If you are not a Christian, but are curious and just want to learn more about the faith, come and see. 

If you are hungering for genuine worship, an ancient offering of adoration and not a lecture or emotional pep-rally, come and see. 

If you are a Christian who is tired of following this new religious leader or that new contemporary Christian emphasis, come and see the living tradition that has been from the beginning. 

If you are an Orthodox Christian and need to unite yourself to a community with which to walk the narrow path, come and see.

We will welcome you in love and with open arms.
