St. Elizabeth Mission is a parish of the Midwest Diocese of the Orthodox Church in America. Founded in 2003 as a mission to the south suburbs of the Twin Cities, we are a diverse community united in faith and service to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Mission Our mission is to proclaim the Word of God. As such, we work to build inroads with the local community through Christian education and charitable ministries. In memory of our heavenly patron, St. Elizabeth the New Martyr, we seek to bear witness to the Kingdom of God by serving others.

Faith The faith of the Orthodox Church is expressed in her ancient worship, which immerses participants in the reality of the biblical story. Our faithful gather each week to worship God according to Holy Scripture and the liturgical tradition of the Orthodox Church. The Bible readings, sermons, and teachings we hear in church are the center of community life.

Based in Chicago, the Diocese of the Midwest is under the protection of His Eminence, the Most Reverend †JOB, Archbishop of Chicago and the Midwest, and includes approximately 80 parishes, monasteries, missions and other institutions.
 

We hope that you will consider a visit to our parish.
