Welcome to Holy Spirit Antiochian Orthodox Church located in Huntington, WV. We hope that you find its contents both edifying and informative.  Holy Spirit Orthodox Church is not “ours,” but she belongs to God. As such, she is home for all those whom God is calling into the fold of his Holy Church – that Church which has been faithful since Pentecost in proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ.

We are home to many “cradle” Orthodox, with roots, particularly in Lebanon and Syria, whose forefathers came to this country to search for freedom and a better life for their families. It was here in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christian, where St. Peter and Paul preached, and where for two thousand years, and against incredible odds, the Orthodox Christian faith has been preserved.

We also have many who have come from Catholic or various Protestant backgrounds but who have embraced the fullness of the Orthodox faith. For all those in search of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church – welcome home!

Fund Raiser

We are having a silent auction for a fundraiser event, now going on until Sunday, Dec. 19, 2021. We are offering 5 handcrafted Mennonite quilts, which were donated by one of our parishioners. They are on display at the church social hall for your viewing.

The largest one is a pink 7-point Lone-Star for a queen-size bed. The other four are smaller lap-size quilts, which have many uses. They are perfect for your lap when you are riding in a car, and beautiful enough to use in church, restaurants, or other outings. You can also use them for small babies as a crib blanket. The size of the lap/crib quilts is 42"x42".

100% of the proceeds from this auction will go to the Holy Spirit Orthodox Church. The winner of each quilt will be announced after Liturgy in the Social Hall on December 19, 2021.

The photos of the quilts are pictured below. If you wish to bid, please contact Father John or one of the parish council members. You also can go to our donation button and click on quilts.
