Under the prayerful guidance and omophorion of His Beatitude, Jonah, Archbishop of Washington, Metropolitan of All America and Canada, Locum Tenens of the Diocese of the South, St Mary of Egypt Orthodox Church has been growing and bearing witness to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ since 1976. Currently pastored by Fr. Peter Smith and Fr. Cyprian DuRant, we held our initial services and gatherings in the apartment of Fr John and Brigid Townsend, then in the "upper room" of a local bank. In 1979, on our 5+ acres of wooded land, we began construction of the delightful and warm redwood temple which we have worshipped in since its dedication in 1980 by Archbishop Dmitri.
